Which hazard increases severely when a PLC controlling a chemical reactor cooling system experiences firmware corruption?

💡 Explanation

A runaway exothermic reaction becomes likely because incorrect PLC operation disrupts the negative feedback *control loop*, which maintains steady temperatures. Therefore, the reactor overheats rather than staying stable, because the feedback cooling is disabled due to flawed execution.
