Which risk increases when a commercial aircraft wing's boundary layer experiences premature transition to turbulence?

A)Total lift rapidly diminishes
B)Fuel consumption significantly improves
C)Structural icing formation decreases
D)Aileron authority becomes amplified

💡 Explanation

Total lift rapidly diminishes because the *adverse pressure gradient separation* worsens due to increased friction, therefore causing a stall rather than maintaining laminar flow; improved fuel consumption or decreased structural icing would not occur in this scenario.
