Which instability arises when methane hydrate transitions phase?

A)Endemic resonance causes complete combustion
B)Clathrate decomposition spikes sediment porosity
C)Bridging corrosion collapses pipeline strength
D)Erosion reduces external hydrostatic pressure

💡 Explanation

Excessive methane release after *clathrate decomposition* reduces pore pressure because methane expands. Therefore, sediment cohesion decreases, promoting submarine landslides, rather than direct combustion or corrosion that methane alone could cause.
