In the Mississippi River delta in south Louisiana shallow subsurface imaging of the sediments reveal buried channels beneath delta sediments that are less than 10,000 years, and these channels extend offshore to the edge of the continental shelf.  What is a simple explanation for these buried channels?
A) They represent channels of the Mississippi river delta when sea level was lower, during the ice age.
B) They represent giant flood events before the delta was formed and before the river formed.
C) Turbidity currents cut a submarine canyon on the shelf before the delta buried them.
D) The river must have been bigger in the past, cutting a channel clear to the edge of the shelf below sea level.
