Which risk increases when concentrated livestock farming accelerates soil acidification above subsurface limestone?

A)Accelerated sinkhole formation and land collapse
B)Increased surface river meandering
C)Enhanced soil carbon sequestration rates
D)Decreased rates of mineral weathering

💡 Explanation

Increased soil acidity enhances chemical weathering, causing dissolution of limestone bedrock. This is because, in karst regions, dissolution is the key mechanism causing subsurface voids; therefore, sinkhole formation accelerates, rather than a competing effect such as soil stabilization.
