Which phenomenon reduces lift capacity in a suddenly stalled aircraft wing?

A)Turbulent boundary layer separation
B)Increased skin friction drag
C)Laminar flow reattachment onset
D)Adverse pressure gradient reduction

💡 Explanation

Turbulent boundary layer separation causes lift reduction suddenly because flow becomes disorganized, disrupting pressure differences. This separation, rather than drag increase or laminar reattachment, stalls airflow because angle of attack exceeded the critical limit.
