B)Pahoehoe flow front advancing rapidly
C)Shield volcano edifice flank instability
D)Formation of a wider lahar pathway

Caldera collapse risk increases due to pressure loss causing gravitational forces exceeding the decreased support, therefore large-scale structural failure occurs, rather than lava changes or lahar formation which depend on additional environmental factors.
