A fusible plug in an aircraft wheel is designed to:

Indicate tire pressure to the pilot

Prevent overinflation during servicing

Lock the wheel during parking

Melt and deflate the tire if temperature rises excessively, preventing blowout

Correct

Explanation

Fusible plugs contain a low-melting-point alloy that melts from brake heat, releasing tire pressure in a controlled manner before explosive failure.
