A. dams break
B. gutters get clogged with trash
C. streams or rivers overflow their banks
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

Both dams bursting and clogged gutters can cause flooding. For example, in 1976, the Teton Dam in southeast Idaho failed, covering much of the surrounding areas in water and then mud.

However, the most common cause of flooding is when streams or rivers overflow their banks, usually after a period of heavy rainfall.
