Which failure mode increases when continuously overloading transformers?

💡 Explanation

Excessive current through the transformer windings generates heat beyond design limits allowing thermal runaway, because dielectric breakdown will occur within the insulation. Therefore the insulation fails, rather than improved eddy currents, reverse diode, or capacitive effects which don't cause failure here.
