Which risk increases with prolonged operation of the `shāh jahāni` stepwell architecture?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated corrosion increases, because the capillary action transports sulfate ions from groundwater into the porous sandstone, initiating acid attack via a dissolution mechanism; therefore, material strength degrades, rather than just hydrostatic or silting.
