Which outcome results when thermokarst lake drainage accelerates?

A)Ecosystem carbon source increases
B)Albedo increases regionally
C)Regional subsidence rate lowers
D)Methane clathrate formation increases

💡 Explanation

Ecosystem release of carbon increases due to oxidation of newly exposed organic matter after thermokarst lake drainage occurring from thawing permafrost, which accelerates microbial decomposition; therefore, source increases, rather than decreasing or related mineral formation.
