A)Decreased water infiltration and downstream flooding✓
B)Uplift to higher terraces due to pressure
C)Increased harvest yields exponentially upscale
D)Improved sunlight exposure and crop maturation
💡 Explanation
Destabilization yields reduced water permeation and flooding because the terraced structure loses Keying, the interlocking of the terrace walls with the soil. The land then suffers; therefore, water will rush down, rather than dissipate.
