Which failure risk increases when subsurface rebar experiences stray current?

A)Accelerated electrolytic corrosion weakening members
B)Reduced concrete tensile strength initially
C)Increased steel hardness prematurely quenches
D)Elevated carbon dioxide emission directly

💡 Explanation

Electrolytic corrosion accelerates, especially with chlorides present because differential voltage promotes **electrolysis**, removing rebar metal ions; therefore structural integrity weakens drastically, rather than just immediate concrete matrix effects or direct gas production.
