Which condition inhibits stalactite formation slowest cave airflow?

A)Reduced dissolved carbon dioxide transport
B)Increased mineral precipitation rate
C)Enhanced cave roof disintegration
D)Elevated calcium carbonate supersaturation

💡 Explanation

Reduced airflow inhibits stalactite growth because it diminishes the dissolution of cave air with water creating carbon dioxide for the transport of calcium carbonate for the chemical precipitation; therefore, lowered transport restricts mineral deposition rather than enhanced disintegration.
