Which risk increases significantly when road salt (NaCl) solutions contacting bridge supports is not diluted?

A)Formation of insoluble hydroxide precipitates
B)Elevated vibrational resonance frequencies
C)Accelerated corrosion via oxidation
D)Compromised concrete compressive strength

💡 Explanation

When concentrated road salt solutions contact bridge supports, the increased availability of mobile chloride ions facilitates electron transfer from the metal, therefore **galvanic corrosion** occurs. Rather than forming protective layers or hydroxide precipitates, oxidation accelerates heavily because of chloride's influence.
