Correct answer: (D) Recrystallize at lower temperatures.
Explanation
Heavy cold work increases dislocation density and stored deformation energy. That energy provides the driving force for recovery and recrystallization and promotes nucleation of strain-free grains. Consequently a greater prior deformation generally lowers the recrystallization temperature under comparable annealing conditions, D. It does not lower the driving force.
