Which outcome arises when rapid zinc crystal growth exceeds diffusion?

A)Dendritic structures become more easily formed
B)Increased number of screw-type dislocations occur
C)Elastic strain energy becomes minimized rapidly
D)Overall crystal quality is greatly improved

💡 Explanation

Dendritic formations will occur because interface instability outpaces the diffusion of zinc atoms, thus forming branched structures via diffusion-limited aggregation rather than smooth layers. Therefore, characteristic needle-like shapes will occur, rather than increased quality.
