Which effect reduces work output when a Carnot engine cycles too quickly?

💡 Explanation

When a Carnot engine cycles too rapidly, irreversible heat transfer appears because the working fluid cannot maintain quasi-static equilibrium, therefore entropy increases, which reduces theoretical efficiency; rather than A/B/D where values reflect ideal operation.
