I think the answer would be "Thrust and range of aircraft as well as efficiency of engine".

Utkarsh said:   7 years ago
Option C is correct because the efficiency of the engine is also improved.

Afterburners are in-efficient because the exhaust gas is poor in oxygen.

So there is insufficient oxygen to burn the fuel completely.

Therefore, (A) is the correct answer.
