Which cavitation risk escalates as hydraulic pump suction pressure declines toward the fluid's vapor pressure?

A)Impeller erosion rate accelerates sharply
B)System bulk modulus instantly increases
C)Valve response time consistently decreases
D)Fluid temperature coefficient nearly neutralizes

💡 Explanation

Severe hydraulic pump erosion arises as suction pressure drops and cavitation occurs, because vapor bubbles form and violently collapse as they enter higher pressure zones; therefore, impeller erosion accelerates, rather than bulk modulus increasing due to vapor compressibility within the liquid.
