Which increased risk follows when volatile liquid rocket propellant experiences rapid depressurization?

💡 Explanation

Rapid depressurization can lead to flash boiling and explosive vaporisation— a rapid phase explosion; hence, detonation. The extremely fast vaporisation exceeds the propellant's ability to manage the phase transition via controlled bubbling, because the sudden volume increase generates intense pressure waves, rather than regulated expansion.
