Answer:

A. Natural deposition rates will decrease.

Explanation:

Dams seriously affect the bodies of water that they are built in. They can hold back large amounts of water, soil, and sediment that would otherwise travel downstream easily. Since less soil and sediment will travel downriver, there will be less soil and sediment to be deposited where it would otherwise come to rest. So the dam will cause natural deposition to decrease
