Which outcome occurs when water jet cutters experience blockages?

💡 Explanation

When a blockage constricts flow, the pressure drop downstream becomes extreme leading to violent vapor bubble implosion called "cavitation erosion". Because this process mechanically attacks the nozzle, its wear accelerates rather than other changes, therefore A.
