Which outcome results when soil cohesion decreases in wind-exposed regions due to intense seasonal evapotranspiration?

A)Increased rates of desert pavement formation
B)Enhanced chemical weathering of bedrock
C)Decreased fluvial sediment transport
D)Stabilization of existing sand dunes

💡 Explanation

Increased evapotranspiration removes soil moisture needed for clay cohesion, leading to increased aeolian deflation which will remove fine particles and leave behind larger rocks, therefore causing desert pavement rather than dune stabilization because aeolian processes dominate over fluvial.
