Which consequence arises when non-orthogonal wave functions describe degenerate quantum states?

A)Spurious oscillations will occur
B)Spectral broadening increases sharply
C)Energy values incorrectly separate
D)System becomes indefinitely isothermal

💡 Explanation

Incorrect energy separation arises because the Gram-Schmidt process was not performed which allows proper orthogonalization; therefore, calculated energy levels split artificially, rather than exhibiting the correct degeneracy under proper quantum simulation.
