Which outcome results when Mississippi River levees constrict floodplain width?

💡 Explanation

Increased levee height increases floodwater volume against the levee during flood events, triggering flanking. Because the flood water increases pressure by water increasing at that level, therefore potential breach likelihood rises, rather than increasing the deposition (A).
