Which outcome results when high stress deforms a metallic lattice?

A)Increased electrical resistance develops
B)Enhanced thermal conductivity appears
C)Higher yield strength emerges
D)Complete crystal structure restoration

💡 Explanation

Increased resistance appears because **phonon scattering** increases due to dislocations in the deformed lattice reducing electron mean free path; therefore resistivity rises; rather than enhanced conductivity, distortion actually hinders electron flow.
