Which risk increases when a rocket propellant using liquid hydrogen experiences boil-off?

A)Propellant mixture becomes off-stoichiometric
B)Vapor lock in fuel pumps halts ignition
C)Icing damages composite rocket structures
D)Hydrogen embrittlement decreases engine strength

💡 Explanation

The propellant mixture shifts because fractional distillation enriches heavier molecular components, therefore off-stoichiometry results, rather than vapor lock (different mechanism), structural icing (hydrogen temperature too high) or hydrogen embrittlement (requires high temperatures).
