Which instability arises when exceeding a rocket's altitude limit?

A)Thrust vectoring control reversal
B)Cryogenic fuel autoignition onset
C)Aerodynamic leading lift stall
D)Engine nozzle thermal cracking

💡 Explanation

Exceeding design altitude creates the risk of aerodynamic forces reversing thrust vector authority; The rocket tilts because the thrust vectoring mechanism no longer effectively exerts control, therefore leading to complete loss of control rather than simple drag or overheating.
