Which risk increases when a submarine's SONAR broadcasts exceed design limits?

💡 Explanation

Transducer fatigue increases because exceeding power limits induces excessive mechanical stress via piezoelectric effect during signal propagation. Therefore, element fatigue is the result, rather than biofouling or signal issues which depend more on environmental factors.
