Which risk increases when an aircraft hydraulic system's relief valve fails closed during thermal expansion?

💡 Explanation

When a relief valve fails closed during thermal expansion, pressure builds up in the hydraulic system because the fluid has no outlet, eventually exceeding the system's pressure limit. Therefore, rupture of hydraulic lines results, rather than cavitation, flutter, or seizure, which require different mechanisms and operating conditions.
