Which risk increases when a fjord's stratification weakens?

💡 Explanation

Increased turbidity current frequency becomes more likely because density differences, usually maintained by haloclines and thermoclines, are reduced when stratification weakens; this destabilizes sediments. The weakened `density stratification of seawater` allows downslope movement rather than stable layering. Therefore, A is correct rather than B, C, or D.
