Which process accelerates cave formation when groundwater acidity increases?

A)Increased carbonate weathering capacity
B)Reduced bicarbonate ion concentration
C)Enhanced deposition of calcium carbonate
D)Decreased rate mineral precipitation

💡 Explanation

Increased groundwater acidity enhances cave formation via carbonate weathering capacity, because increased hydrogen ion concentration accelerates the dissolution of limestone. This acid reaction amplifies Carbonation; therefore, cavern production increases rather than buffering effects.
