Which outcome sharply accelerates polyethylene degradation on a power cable?

A)Increased UV exposure photochemical process
B)Applying silicone grease insulation layer
C)Decreased electric field strength
D)Use of nitrogen gas blanket

💡 Explanation

Increased UV exposure initiates chain scission via a photochemical process; this depolymerization sharply increases the degradation rate because shorter chains are less stable, therefore UV accelerates polymer breakdown, rather than methods that preserve them.
