Which outcome results when high magnesium concentration decreases?

A)Aragonite replaces calcite formation.
B)Stalactite growth becomes faster.
C)Pillar formation rates decrease sharply.
D)Cavern air becomes less acidic.

💡 Explanation

The growth rate increases because magnesium is the inhibitor of calcite crystal growth; decreased magnesium favors faster calcite deposition. This reduction allows faster carbonate precipitation forming stalactites, therefore increasing deposition rather than decreased pillar creation/altered forms.
