Which outcome occurs when substantial strain distorts crystal lattice?

💡 Explanation

Strain induces deviations from the ideal periodic structure; therefore, increased vacancy and interstitial point defect concentrations result, because atomic displacement alters equilibrium positions and equilibrium defect concentrations shift toward greater disorder, rather than reduced defect density.
