Which risk increases as the lubrication pump's clearance widens?

💡 Explanation

As the pump's clearance widens, volumetric efficiency decreases, thinning the oil film, because the viscous drag forces are weakened because lubricant cannot properly undergo viscous adhesion; therefore, reduced wedge results, rather than other modes of thermal or oxidative degradation.
