Which outcome initiates cavitation when liquid temperature increases inside a closed hydraulic system?

A)Vapor pressure reaches fluid pressure
B)Viscosity surpasses material shear strength
C)Fluid density matches container density
D)Surface tension drops below critical point

💡 Explanation

Cavitation begins when increased liquid temperature raises vapor pressure; the *phase transition* from liquid to vapor occurs because of exceeding hydrostatic pressure; therefore vapor bubbles form, rather than liquid remaining stable, even though system volume is constant.
