Explanation:

Bed load is the term bed load describes particles in flowing fluid that are transported along the bed. Bed load moves by rolling, sliding, and saltating. These heavier particles are usually sands and gravels. 

So, Bed load is the combination of contact load and saltation load.

Suspended load/Wash load consists of particles suspended in the water above the bottom. Suspended load consists of generally finer, smaller particles than bed load (like silt and clay).

Dissolved load is the solids dissolved in the water move along with the water (like dissolved salts).
