Refer to the drawing of a bellows-type differential pressure (D/P) detector. The spring in this detector (shown in a compressed state) has weakened from long-term use ___

Refer to the drawing of a bellows-type differential pressure (D/P) detector (see figure below).

Bellow Type Differential Pressure - 99

The spring in this detector (shown in a compressed state) has weakened from long-term use.

If the actual D/P is constant, how will indicated D/P respond as the spring weakens?

A. Increase, because the spring will expand more
B. Decrease, because the spring will expand more
C. Increase, because the spring will compress more
D. Decrease, because the spring will compress more
