Question.4

An automotive-rated diode is used in a circuit that operates inside a vehicle.
The exact part is unavailable, so it is replaced with a standard consumer-grade diode that has the same voltage and current rating.

What is the main risk with this replacement?

The consumer diode will not work at all in a vehicle
The consumer diode may fail under heat, vibration, or voltage spikes
The diode will draw more current than the automotive diode
Automotive and consumer diodes behave the same electrically
