What is a typical consequence of governance errors when deploying a subnet?

• A. Governance errors can delay or block subnet operations.
• B. Governance errors automatically upgrade the VM.
• C. Governance errors convert AVAX to another token automatically.
• D. Governance errors have no effect on subnet availability.

Answer: (A)

Governance governs how and when changes are approved for a subnet, including deployment, parameter updates, and validator enrollment. When governance processes fail or misconfigure, those approvals can’t be finalized, causing delays or blocks in deploying or updating the subnet. In other words, the subnet waits for governance to resolve issues before it can operate normally.

This is why the typical consequence is that governance errors can delay or block subnet operations. Governance problems don’t cause automatic VM upgrades, nor do they trigger automatic token conversions, and they do have an impact on subnet availability, not none.
