Which risk drastically increases when groundwater acidity increases flowing through karst?

A)Accelerated sinkhole formation destabilizing infrastructure
B)Amplified coastal erosion and sea surges
C)Decreased sediment delta formation rate
D)Reduced stream discharge during dry periods

💡 Explanation

Increased groundwater acidity enhances chemical weathering, leading to increased limestone dissolution by dissolution; therefore, sinkhole formation risk increases, destabilizing construction, rather than other hydrological cycle alternations, because it directly weakens the bedrock's structural integrity.
