Which consequence results when a submersible encounters cavitation?

A)Decreased propeller efficiency and erosion
B)Increased laminar flow along hull
C)Elevated operational temperature consistently
D)Enhanced structural integrity via pressure

💡 Explanation

Cavitation causes decreased efficiency and erosion because formation and collapse of vapor bubbles induce intense pressure waves. This erosive effect of cavitation pitting destroys the propeller surface; therefore, A is correct, rather than any increase in structural properties or different flow regimes.
