Which risk increases transmission line efficiency due to temperature variations?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature gradients cause impedance mismatches on transmission lines which elevates Standing Wave Ratio, propagating reflected power impairing efficiency because impedance variations affect signal transfer, therefore answer C, rather than structural or material failures which are separate concerns.
