Which outcome regarding coastal defense occurs when Roman concrete degrades?

A)Increased hydrostatic pressure on seawalls
B)Decreased structural integrity of breakwaters
C)Accelerated oxidation of iron reinforcements
D)Enhanced biogenic reef formation nearby

💡 Explanation

Decreased structural integrity results from the chemical action of seawater dissolving components of the composite concrete via leaching dissolution, because seawater erodes cohesion causing it to crumble; therefore functionality suffers, rather than improved structure elsewhere.
