Which risk increases when paraffin wax undergoes rapid melting?

💡 Explanation

Rapid melting elevates vapor pressure, and thus releases flammable vapors. The phase transition increases flammability because the rate exceeds the dissipation of released fuel via diffusion; therefore, the fire risk is higher, rather than creating polymer failure or reactive changes.
