Which outcome accelerates when repeated freeze-thaw cycles destabilize Arctic slopes?

A)Enhanced solifluction lobe formation
B)Increased esker deposition rates
C)Reduced thermokarst lake expansion
D)Stabilized periglacial landforms

💡 Explanation

Accelerated destabilization leads to enhanced solifluction lobe formation, because the active layer's saturated soil undergoes creep down the slope due to gravity; periglacial mass wasting dominates, therefore increased lobe formation occurs, rather than reduced thermokarst.
