Which outcome increases when concentrated animal feeding operations discharge wastewater onto karst topography?

A)Increased sinkhole formation frequency
B)Accelerated sandstone weathering rates
C)Reduced surface water mineralization
D)Decreased fracture permeability coefficients

💡 Explanation

Increased sinkhole-formation frequency occurs because concentrated wastewater accelerates chemical weathering (dissolution) of the limestone bedrock via enhanced dissolution, therefore creating weaknesses resulting in more sinkholes, rather than altered sandstone or reduced mineralization impacts.
