Which outcome occurred in early cannons when the gunpowder's burn rate exceeded design parameters?

💡 Explanation

Excessive burn rate caused more rapid and intense pressure buildup beyond yield strength limitations; this induced dynamic stress concentration and catastrophic fracturing via brittle fracture of the cast iron, because of exceeding its tensile rating, therefore, A is true, rather than other outcomes.
