Which risk increases in a spacecraft experiencing constant acceleration?

A)Reduced effective pilot reaction time
B)Increased radiation exposure to crew
C)Fuel line blockage from propellant sedimentation
D)Structural fatigue from frame resonances

💡 Explanation

Consistent acceleration induces the equivalent of a gravitational field, thereby sedimentation of dense propellant components occurs. This causes fuel blockage because differential settling separates fuel phases, rather than other inertial effects, due to the 'equivalence principle'.
