Which outcome occurs when Roman aqueducts experience exceeding hydrostatic thrust?

A)Arch barrel vaults crack inwards
B)Mortar joints experience accelerated carbonation
C)Water flow achieves laminar state
D)Settling basins exhibit sedimentation reversal

Arch barrel vaults crack inwards because of exceeding hydrostatic thrust undergoes structural deformation via hoop stress; therefore, arch weakening occurs rather than mortar alteration or any fluid dynamic shift within the aqueduct system.
