Which risk intensifies as alluvial river plains subside?

💡 Explanation

Increased flooding risk elevates levee failure because isostatic subsidence lowers the floodplain, diminishing the levee's relative height; therefore overtopping from river's capacity leads to catastrophic breach damage, rather than the other three, because they are unrelated to subsidence and flood forces.
