Which change results in coastal regions when isostatic rebound completes?

A)Reduced erosion vulnerability there
B)Increased seismic activity locally
C)Submerged paleovalleys get scoured
D)Marine species local extinctions

💡 Explanation

Completing isostatic rebound causes land uplift through vertical movement after glacial retreat; because of epeirogeny (continental uplift after ice melt), coastal areas elevate. Therefore, there is reduced erosion, rather than increased activity; uplift exposes new, stable land.
