Question 10 / 40:  Why did full-scale engineering-material specimens fracture at lower loads than expected in early metal airplanes (see specifically the Comet 1)? I. The effects of cyclic fatigue were not appreciated for airplane pressurization/depressurization. II. The effects of stress concentration at the corners of square windows were not appreciated. III. The effects of defect presence and growth were not appreciated for large structures
A  I only
B  Both II and III
C  I, II, and III
D  Both II and III
E  Both I and III
