I'm feeling confident about B. Only rupture. Thinning just seems like it would lead to a straight-up rupture, without any larger leaks beforehand.

Hmm, I'm torn between A and D. Cracks could also be a potential issue with thinning, but I'm leaning more towards the larger leaks or rupture option.

I'm going with C. Metal loss. Thinning is all about the metal losing thickness, so that seems like the most obvious choice here.

I agree with both of you. Metal loss seems like the most likely outcome of thinning.

I think C makes sense too. Thinning would definitely lead to metal loss.

I think the answer is A. Larger leaks or rupture. Thinning can definitely lead to a larger failure mode, rather than just a rupture.

I disagree, I believe the answer is C) Metal loss because thinning can lead to weakening of the metal.
