Catastrophic rupture? That's a bit extreme, don't you think? I'd say B is the most likely outcome.

That makes sense, pitting can indeed initiate crack growth. So C) Cracks could be the correct answer.

I disagree, I believe the answer is C) Cracks because pitting can lead to crack formation.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be D) Catastrophic rupture if the pitting is severe enough.

I agree with Pamela, pitting can lead to small holes that eventually rupture.

Hmm, I think pitting can definitely cause cracks, so C is a good option too.

Pitting usually leads to small holes, so I'd go with option A. Small hole sized leaks.
