Which outcome primarily increases inside a water-filled limestone cave during periods of lower atmospheric pressure?

💡 Explanation

Increased dissolved carbon dioxide occurs because lower atmospheric pressure reduces the gas's aqueous solubility, a process described by Henry's Law; therefore, more CO2 remains dissolved inside the cave, rather than precipitating calcite or creating structural risks at decreased CO2 partial pressures near the surface.
