Which consequence results when excessive irrigation mobilizes pesticides via saturated soil?

A)Enhanced nitrate concentration in aquifers✓

B)Stabilized soil aggregate formation

C)Increased organic matter decomposition

D)Reduced topsoil salinity levels

💡 Explanation

Enhanced nitrate concentration occurs because pesticide leaching transports contaminants through saturated soil; thus, nitrates accumulate in aquifers rather than contributing to stabilized soil because excessive watering degrades aggregates and promotes nitrate mobility.
