Which impact accelerates delta subsidence where sediment supply reduces?

A)Reduced buoyant support compaction✓

B)Increased isostatic rebound action

C)Enhanced biogenic sediment production

D)Stabilized detrital sediment accretion

💡 Explanation

Delta subsidence accelerates because reduced sediment limits buoyant support, subsequently enhancing compaction via gravity; therefore heightened subsidence occurs rather than uplift or stabilization, where additional sediment could increase buoyancy or accretion occur.
