D. It will erode away

Respuesta :

Answer: Option D.

It will erode away.

Explanation:

Delta refer to landform that is formed when the river and sediments empty itself into the oceans, another river or land.

When a Delta is receiving sediments at faster rate than it is subsiding, it will erode away because as the water and sediments continue to empty itself in it, it will accumulate large some, and when it has exceeded the capacity it can hold, it will break into distributaries channels that allows water and sediments to flow and branch off from the mainstream river into the land or another place.
