← TechnologyWhich hazard increases severely when a PLC controlling a chemical reactor cooling system experiences firmware corruption?
A)Runaway exothermic chemical reaction✓
B)Reduced sensor signal resolution
C)Compromised network security protocols
D)Accelerated actuator mechanical fatigue
💡 Explanation
A runaway exothermic reaction becomes likely because incorrect PLC operation disrupts the negative feedback *control loop*, which maintains steady temperatures. Therefore, the reactor overheats rather than staying stable, because the feedback cooling is disabled due to flawed execution.
