Which condition signals cavitation risk during throttling in a pump?

💡 Explanation

Vapor bubbles form during cavitation when the inlet pressure drops to vapor pressure due to throttling, a phenomenon described by variations in the Bernoulli principle; therefore, option C is correct, rather than other pressure conditions or fluid changes at distal locations because these are indirect indicators.
