Which outcome results as cave pH declines via biogenic respiration?

💡 Explanation

Lower pH boosts acidity thus increasing carbonate dissolution rate. Carbonic acid formation represents acid attack. Calcite solubility shifts via decreasing pH because dissolution rate increases rather than stabilization or reduced deposition.
