Which outcome is accelerated when groundwater discharge increases near coastlines?

A)Carbonate dissolution rate elevates rapidly
B)Saltwater stratification occurrence frequency surges
C)Tidal prism volume experiences expansion
D)Beach nourishment project timescale reduces

💡 Explanation

Increased groundwater introduces more dissolved CO2, hence 'Carbonate dissolution' accelerates at the rock-water interface due to increased carbonic acid via an acid-base reaction, rather than alternatives; therefore, increasing limestone erosion happens because of this chemical weathering.
