Which risk increases following rapid glacial isostatic rebound?

💡 Explanation

The risk of shallow earthquakes rises because isostatic rebound causes crustal rocks to deform elastically, then rupture via Elastic Rebound, generating seismic events; therefore A, rather than B/C/D, which is related to inherent geologic attributes.
