Answer:

A. It increases in elevation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equilibrium line passes through and divides the accumulation and the factors which causes the destruction of materials as a result of certain factors such as erosion.

In a heavy snow year that sees an expansion of the zone of accumulation, the line of equilibrium increases in elevation as a result of deposition of substances.
