Which outcome is accelerated during episodic dome building?

💡 Explanation

Episodic dome building leads to a steepening of the dome's flanks; the mechanism of gravitational instability results in increased chances of lateral collapse because steeper slopes are inherently less stable; therefore the answer is B, rather than A, C, or D.
