Which process causes increased sediment deposition in a proglacial lake?

💡 Explanation

Increased paraglacial sediment supply will increase the delta growth because sediment supply overwhelms lake transport capacity when the *sediment budget* increases from newly-deglaciated slopes. Therefore answer C, rather than reduced discharge or channel shifts causing different effects.
