Which phenomenon increases when topsoil experiences reduced throughflow?

A)Elevated illuviation accumulation rates
B)Accelerated argilluviation particle sorting
C)Intensified podzolization soil acidification
D)Augmented caliche horizon development

💡 Explanation

Intensified podzolization results because reduced throughflow leads to decreased removal of organic acids created at the surface and pH buffered, thereby enhancing leaching; therefore increased soil acidity rather than the other options which demand increased percolation is characteristic.
