Which condition accelerates stalactite growth due to heightened supersaturation?

💡 Explanation

A high drip rate with low CO2 increases stalactite growth because the calcium carbonate precipitation increases due to a maximized **degassing effect** forming faster deposits. Slower drip rates or higher CO2 instead decrease the rate of precipitation, rather than increasing it.
