Which risk increases when pilot-operated relief valves in a hydraulic system experience significant spool sticking?

💡 Explanation

Pressure intensification and system rupture risk increases because the valve's pilot stage fails to modulate the main spool, therefore causing uncontrolled pressure to build rather than relieving excess hydraulic fluid during transient pressure spikes.
