Which mechanism causes increased sinkhole formation where karst aquifers lie beneath farmland?

💡 Explanation

Agricultural runoff introduces acidic substances promoting dissolution of carbonate rocks during karstification; nutrient runoff leaching increases because water percolates through the soil removing minerals, therefore sinkholes become more prone in these areas because subsurface rock dissolves, rather than other options.
