Which of the following is a consequence of sedimentation to wetlands?

Sedimentation occurs when soil and other particles settle and build up in a wetland. Over time, this can fill in wetland areas and bury or alter places where plants and animals live, causing habitat loss. Wetlands can help improve water quality by trapping sediment, but that does not mean sediment buildup benefits the wetland.
