Which risk specifically increases when a cryogenic storage vessel warms?

A)Metal embrittlement leads propagation
B)Vapor pressure exceeds tank design
C)Thermal conductivity causes creep
D)Refrigerant viscosity approaches zero

💡 Explanation

Boiling occurs because the *vapor pressure* rises exponentially with temperature. Therefore, pressure rapidly overcomes the vessel's capacity, rather than embrittlement at the walls or simple effects of thermal conductivity changing creep rates inside the vessel.
