Could anyone please explain this question step by step with the brief summary of the theory behind please? Thanks a lot!!

 Could anyone please explain this question step by step with the

ou have an Fe-C.Cr-Mn steel being used in a powerplant at high temperature. It is observed that over time some of the chromium and carbon dissolved in the steel as a olid solution is reacting to form a dispersion of particles. Which of the following best deseribes how we might expect the strength to change? We don't have encugh information to decide if the strength will increase, decrease or stay the same, It depends on the solid solutions strengthening effect of carton and chromium and the size and separation of the particles formed. The strength will go down as the carbon and chromium are no longer in solution and cant strengthen the steel vil solid solution strengthening. The strength will go up as precipitation (disperson) strengthening is known to be one of the most patent strengthening methods avalable. The strength will stay the same as the reduction in strength due to reduced solution strengthening of carbon and chromium will be roughly balanced by the increase in strength due to precipitation (dispersion) strengthening.
