The term "Intermittent River" refers to which type of water body?

• A. Rivers, Lakes and Canals Symbols
• B. Railroads Symbols
• C. Very Large Lakes
• D. Small Watercourses

Answer: (A)

In map-reading, water features are organized by category in the legend, and an intermittent river is a type of watercourse that does not flow year-round. Because it describes a kind of river, the symbol would be found under the category that covers Rivers, Lakes and Canals Symbols. The other options miss the connection to a water feature: railroads symbols relate to rail infrastructure, very large lakes describe a lake, and small watercourses are just minor streams—while an intermittent river is specifically a river with seasonal flow, best captured in the rivers category of map symbols.
