Which outcome is observed when dislocations impede slip within a crystal lattice?

A)Increased material tensile strength
B)Decreased electrical conductivity
C)Enhanced thermal diffusivity
D)Elevated ductile-brittle transition temperature

💡 Explanation

Increased strength happens because dislocation pile-up causes work hardening, which is a strength mechanism. Dislocations impede movement; therefore, yielding requires greater applied stress, rather than causing altered conductivity or promoting brittle behavior under different conditions.
