Which outcome accelerates formation of fractured karst stalactites?

💡 Explanation

Stalactites fracture with increased CO₂ because carbonic acid concentration and limestone dissolution via chemical weathering increase, therefore accelerating differential growth stressing internal structures, rather than stabilizing via deposition under other conditions.
