← GeographyWhich geomorphic outcome occurs when slightly acidic groundwater interacts chemically with limestone?
A)Karst topography formation✓
B)Formation of oxbow lakes
C)Glacial moraine deposition
D)Volcanic caldera collapse

Karst topography forms because the dissolution of calcium carbonate in limestone by carbonic acid creates channels and sinkholes initiating landform development; therefore Karst emerges, rather than lake formation which arises from river meandering.
