Based on the figure below,what is likely to happen to coastal river deltas when sea level rises?
A) They would be submerged.
B) They would extend outward from increased sediment influx.
C) They would be "armored" with large clasts deposited by storm waves, as sea level slowly rose over them.
D) Both a and c are correct.

When sea level rises, there is a high possibility that coastal river deltas will be submerged as the water levels increase. This can lead to displacement of populations in these areas and ecological changes as well. Choice B is not likely as the increased sediment influx will not override the effects of rising sea levels. Choice C may occur in some cases, but it does not provide an accurate or complete answer for the likely overall impact of rising sea levels on coastal river deltas.
