Which outcome relating to water resources occurs following acid rain deposition across landscapes dominated by exposed limestone due to atmospheric pollution?

A)Increased aquifer vulnerability to contamination
B)Decreased mineral availability for plant uptake
C)Reduced surface runoff and erosion rates
D)Enhanced evaporative cooling effects locally

💡 Explanation

Increased aquifer vulnerability develops due to limestone dissolution, with acid rain enhancing chemical weathering via carbonic acid formation; because the dissolution creates preferential flow paths with minimal filtration, pollution readily infiltrates the water table rather than alternatives.
