Which risk increases when concrete curing of a high-rise building support column is prematurely halted?

💡 Explanation

Prematurely halting concrete curing leads to incomplete hydration of cement because this affects the internal capillary structure, increasing carbonation penetration and reducing alkalinity, thus accelerating rebar corrosion. Therefore increased carbonation penetration results rather than other options which require alternate mechanisms of environmental ingress.
