A) Several factors affect how sediment settles.

C) Moving water affects where sediment travels.

E) Sediments are carried by a transport medium.

QUESTION:

I think the question is incomplete. The whole question has 1 more option and is states that check all statements that apply. The whole question was:

Which statements describe characteristics of deposition? Check all that apply.

A) Several factors affect how sediment settles.

B) Sediment is added to a new surface location.

C) Moving water affects where sediment travels.

D) Rocks are broken into smaller particles.

E) Sediments are carried by a transport medium.

If this was not your question, then you can still relate to this, as the answer would be same.

EXPLANATION:

Sediments are a mixture of different elements that are usually carried by water, air or even ice. This mixture may contain organic and inorganic particles. Several factors effect the flow and settlement of sediments, but as discussed above, they always need an transport medium to travel, and moving water serves as one.

Answer 2

Moving water affects where sediment travels.

Deposition is the process of accumulation of loose mineral material and organic residues on the land surface and at the bottom of water bodies.  

It occurs at the foot of the slopes, in valleys and in other negative landforms of various sizes: from sinkholes to large troughs and depressions of tectonic origin, where the accumulating deposits form thick strata that gradually turn into sedimentary rocks.

At the bottom of oceans, seas, lakes and other bodies of water, deposition is the most important exogenous process.
