“Improper PWHT can trap hydrogen within the microstructure of carbon steel or fail to relieve residual stresses, both of which increase the risk of hydrogen embrittlement.”
“Moisture in electrodes contributes to hydrogen-induced cracking, but embrittlement from atomic hydrogen is more directly tied to heat treatment and microstructure.”
Thus, option D is the most accurate.
