Which outcome results when thermal insulation degrades around an electronic oscillator's crystal?

💡 Explanation

Frequency drift occurs because thermal insulation degradation increases component temperature variation; increased temperature causes a dimensional change due to thermal expansion which impacts its oscillating frequency. Therefore operating frequency drifts, rather than improving stability because changes are uncontrolled.
