Which outcome is most likely accompanying increased lahar flows down stratovolcano flanks?

A)Burial of valleys and infrastructure
B)Creation of fertile floodplain soils
C)Enhanced vegetation due to nutrient influx
D)Formation of pillow lava structures

💡 Explanation

Downslope lahar flows, a type of debris flow, will bury valleys because of sediment transport and deposition overwhelming existing channels. Lahar deposition causes destruction, therefore it negatively affects engineering and the environment, rather than enabling soil enrichment.
