Which outcome results when continuous sediment deposition narrows a river's channel exit into a lake?

💡 Explanation

Lower lake levels result because the mechanism of reduced discharge exacerbates evaporation. A narrowed outlet restricts the inflow/outflow equilibrium, therefore the lake's levels fall rather than rising from sedimentation.
