Which consequence results when carbon fiber's epoxy matrix degrades?

💡 Explanation

Weakened epoxy causes delamination via reduced load transfer; the mechanism is stress concentration. Because fiber reinforcement depends on matrix integrity, inter-laminar shear weakens drastically, therefore A is correct, rather than alternatives which rely on intact resin structures.
