The suitability and current condition of the equipment within the current operating envelope will determine the ______________ of the equipment from one or more deterioration mechanisms.

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

The suitability and current condition of the equipment within the current operating envelope will determine the probability of failure (pof) from one or more deterioration mechanisms. This relationship is directly about the likelihood of equipment failing based on its condition and operating status, which aligns with the definition of 'probability of failure' rather than 'consequence of failure,' 'total risk,' or 'relative risk.'
