Which outcome slows stalactite growth where CO2 fluctuates?

💡 Explanation

Slower stalactite growth results from an equilibrium shift toward dissolution because fluctuations alter the partial pressure of CO2. Therefore, calcite isn't deposited rapidly; rather than continuous deposition occurring at stable CO2 levels.
