Which outcome results when a submarine's active sonar exceeds design limits?

A)Target signal masking increases rapidly
B)Internal amplifier circuits begin saturating
C)Excessive pressure hull flexing starts
D)Transducer's cavitation erosion accelerates

💡 Explanation

Cavitation erosion accelerates because rapidly oscillating pressure waves cause vapor bubbles to implode violently on the transducer surface utilizing acoustic cavitation; therefore, material pitting is accelerated, rather than changes to signal processing or structural load, because power output surpasses safe operating bounds.
