Which outcome accelerates karst development in coastal regions?

💡 Explanation

Saltwater intrusion accelerates karst because **dissolution** increases as the mixing zone of fresh and saline waters causes a more aggressive chemical reaction with limestone; therefore, saltwater intrusion worsens karst rather than silicate precipitation which might harden rock.
