Which outcome occurs when rapid sediment deposition overwhelms levee reinforcement?

💡 Explanation

Increased channel avulsion frequency occurs due to sedimentary overloading; because the increased sediment load outpaces the levee's capacity leading to the stream overflowing and cutting a new course. Therefore, avulsion is more frequent, rather than the other options, which describe different fluvial processes.
