Correct answer: (C) Avoid deflagration of column charge
Explanation
The intended down-hole advantage is avoiding adverse initiation/deflagration of the explosive column, C. NONEL transmits an initiating signal through shock tube. Air overpressure and ground vibration depend on the full blast design, and conventional pyrotechnic NONEL delays are not inherently exact electronic delays.
