Which outcome results when exceeding Carnot cycle efficiency?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding Carnot efficiency equates to net heat transfer upwards – from cold to hot spontaneously. This necessitates a violation of the Clausius statement because this statement directly forbids this upward heat transfer without external work, rather than other outcomes related to equilibrium or perpetual motion.
