The correct answer is d. to increase seasonal river flooding as the oppositie is actually true: one of the purposes of reservoirs is to decrease seasonal flooding.

Seasonal Flooding is seen as partially dangerous, since it can't be controlled: people prefer to turn it into an irrigation system, which can be controlled more easily.
