Which outcome occurs as soil acidity inhibits mineral weathering?

💡 Explanation

Decreased mineral weathering reduces soluble cation supply; the leaching rate decreases because fewer base cations are available to be transported by soil water. Therefore, option A is correct, rather than the other options which would depend on increased quantities.
