As angle of attack increases from zero, lift:

A

Decreases linearly

B

Increases approximately linearly until the critical (stall) angle

C

Remains constant

D

Increases exponentially without limit

B

Increases approximately linearly until the critical (stall) angle✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

CL increases roughly linearly with angle of attack up to the critical angle, after which flow separation causes CL to decrease (stall).
