A)Reduced water flow upstream
B)Increased calcium carbonate deposition

D)Rapid biofilm accumulation internally
💡 Explanation
Pipe wall creep and fracture occurred through plastic deformation along pipe walls because ongoing overburden pressure increases tensile stress therefore leading to eventual structural failure rather than uniform deposition or altered biological conditions.
