Which outcome impairs piezoelectric crystal sensors approaching Curie temperature?

💡 Explanation

As temperature increases, approaching the Curie temperature, thermal agitation disrupts the alignment of electric dipoles within the crystal lattice; therefore, the spontaneous polarization diminishes, impairing sensing ability, rather than causing fracture or saturation.
