Which risk increases for unguided rockets launched near the subtropical jet stream?

A)Unpredictable trajectory and wide dispersion
B)Rapid structural icing and system failure
C)Atmospheric reentry exceeding design limits
D)Oxidizer depletion preventing proper combustion

💡 Explanation

Unguided rockets are highly susceptible to atmospheric effects; the Coriolis effect, intensified by the high-speed subtropical jet stream, causes significant trajectory deviations because this force deflects projectiles relative to the Earth's rotation, therefore resulting in dispersion rather than predictable paths.
