The correct answer is uncompensated respiratory acidosis.

This is a condition in which decreased ventilation (hypoventilation) increases the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood which causes the pH of blood and to decrease (becomes acidic. Acidosis occurs because restoration of normal acid-base balance is not possible or has not yet been achieved. Uncompensated acidosis is characterized by abnormal pH and abnormal values of PaCO2 or HCO3.

Answer:

The artificial reef would decrease erosion of the coastline.

Explanation:

Artificial reefs are created in area where there is little uderwater topography or near established coral reefs to imitate or even substitute for natural coral reefs where they are absent or endangered due various factors which are mostly human in nature. The artificial serves to provide a habitat for marine organisms and ensure more biodiversity around the area by providing shelter from predation and surfaces for encrusting organisms such as corals and sponges to grow on. The growth of these lower level food chain organisms attract larger predator organisms thereby increasing the biodiversity in the area.

Artificial reefs are made from a variety of materials such as shipwrecks, construction debris, oil rigs, concrete, and any other man-made objects. Since reef structures protect shorelines against waves, artificial reefs would decrease the erosion of the coastline providing benefit to the people living along the coastline by preventing the destruction of beaches and coastal property,
