Which secondary effect is intensified when seismic retrofitting is selectively underfunded?

💡 Explanation

Liquefaction susceptibility increases because seismic retrofitting underfunding leads to structurally unsound soil; therefore the shaking causes soil to lose strength, rather than remaining stable. Amplification and resonance relate to wave features, not soil mechanics.
