← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a ship's degaussing system fails?
A)Increased underwater mine detonation risk✓
B)Elevated susceptibility to rogue waves
C)Compromised electronic navigation systems
D)Greater hull corrosion from static electricity
💡 Explanation
Undetonated mines employ magnetic sensors for detection; degaussing suppresses the ship's magnetic signature through **electromagnetic induction**. Therefore, failure increases the risk of triggering those mines, rather than being affected by other external effects under alternate conditions.
