Which outcome occurs when a refrigerator operates with increased thermal losses in its reversed Carnot cycle?

💡 Explanation

Increased thermal losses require increased work to remove heat due to entropy generation. Therefore, the cooling effect decreases, because less heat is extracted from the cold reservoir, rather than improving performance or reducing environmental entropy.
