Which consequence results when atmospheric humidity drastically increases around NaCl road salt?

💡 Explanation

Increased humidity causes the salt to dissolve, increasing ion mobility; this Dissolution follows Le Chatelier's principle, because increased ion solvation in water enhances conductivity. This rather than structural reinforcement occurs, where internal crystal integrity would be the outcome given compression.
