Explanation
When a large user story ('epic') is split into smaller, more granular stories, each resulting story requires its own distinct acceptance criteria. This is the activity most directly impacted: where one large story had one set of broad criteria, multiple smaller stories each need specific, targeted acceptance criteria that precisely define their individual scope and done conditions. Estimation (A) does become easier and more accurate with smaller stories, but the act of writing acceptance criteria is what must actually be performed for every new story created. Defining personas (B) happens once and is not repeated per story split. Breaking stories down creates a multiplicative need for well-defined acceptance criteria.
