Which consequence results when a gas turbine blade cracks during operation?

💡 Explanation

Turbine blade failure reduces efficiency because kinetic energy is lost in chaotic flow rather than directed through further stages; this is due to the principle of aerodynamic work. Therefore A is correct, rather than flameout or reduced stall, because gas flow is degraded, not entirely interrupted.
