Which outcome occurs when pressure-treated wood submerged in seawater?

A)Arsenic chemicals leach into solution
B)Increased wood density hinders waterlogging
C)Fungal hyphae decompose inner cellulose
D)Microbial activity reduces lignin content

💡 Explanation

Arsenic leaching occurs because the hydrolysis reaction breaks the arsenic-wood bonds accelerating the release due to applied pressure; therefore, arsenic contaminates rather than the strengthening or degradation of structural components such as cellulose because fungal growth requires oxygen.
