What failure results when an aircraft's stall strip accumulates excessive ice?

A)Reduced aileron effectiveness at low speed
B)Induced turbulent flow over the wing
C)Decreased pitch control surface authority
D)Uncommanded spoiler panel deployment occurs

💡 Explanation

The stall strip trips airflow, causing early separation above the ailerons; excessive ice alters its geometry. Therefore, aileron effectiveness decreases first, because the stall happens earlier than intended leading to reduced control, rather than directly causing turbulence or other control failures.
