Which risk escalates when a turbine engine's bypass ratio decreases?

A)Compressor stall margin improves significantly.
B)Combustion instability is suppressed greatly.
C)Thermal stress increases on turbine blades.
D)Propulsive efficiency becomes relatively heightened.

💡 Explanation

Decreasing an engine's bypass ratio shifts more energy through the core; this intensifies the temperature experienced by turbine blades via elevated heat transfer. Therefore thermal stress increases, rather than improvements to combustion or compressor stall, because primary airflow is hotter.
