Which risk increases when aerodynamic surfaces encounter separated turbulent flow?

A)Control surface reversal reduces authority
B)Boundary layer remains predictably laminar
C)Parasitic drag steadily transitions laminar
D)Increased lift coefficient from controlled separation

💡 Explanation

A separated turbulent flow on a control surface reduces its effectiveness because flow separation and erratic pressure distribution diminishes the control force; therefore, aerodynamic authority decreases rather than remaining constant, and laminar flow prevents this effect.
