Which outcome results if a refrigeration cycle operates where cooling is incomplete during phase transition?

💡 Explanation

Reduced system cooling results because incomplete phase transition affects the refrigerant's latent heat absorption capabilities via heat transfer; therefore cooling suffers, rather than options B–D due to energy not being optimally used absorbing heat during the ideal phase transition.
