Select the correct text in the passage.
Which word helps clarify the meaning of the word destabilizes?
Cenotes

A cenote is a natural sinkhole filled with freshwater. Cenotes are formed when bedrock collapses into fresh groundwater. More specifically, a cenote is created when the surrounding bedrock destabilizes, and it collapses to reveal a cave underneath. Different types of cenotes exist. Some are shallow and wide, others are partially open with part of the water's surface hidden, and some are deep, water-filled shafts. Cenotes exist in many parts of the world.
