Which outcome increases as groundwater acidity rises during limestone dissolution, creating sinkholes?

A)Regolith thickness decreases nearby downstream
B)Subsidence rate rises in developed areas
C)Soil porosity near cliffs decreases fast
D)Stream discharge increases during heavy rain

💡 Explanation

Increased water acidity accelerates limestone dissolution, expanding subsurface cavities due to chemical weathering; therefore a higher subsidence rate occurs because the ground is less stable, rather than increased flow or decreased regolith.
