Which mechanism primarily drives speleogenesis at phreatic cave levels?

A)Mixing corrosion due to groundwater flows
B)Abrasion via suspended sediment transport
C)Evaporation-driven mineral precipitation
D)Thermally induced hydrostatic pressure fracturing

💡 Explanation

Mixing corrosion occurs because varying groundwater compositions mix, altering saturation states; therefore, increased dissolution happens at the mixing interfaces within phreatic zones, rather than abrasion or other factors predominantly influencing other cave processes.
