Answer :
Final answer:
A leakage detector with increased sensitivity is able to detect smaller leaks, as it can pick up weaker signals indicating a leak's presence. Thus the correct answer is option 1) It can detect smaller leaks.
Explanation:
An increased sensitivity in a leakage detector primarily allows the detector to identify smaller leaks. Increased sensitivity means that the detector can pick up weaker signals, meaning it can detect even small changes in pressure or chemical composition that may indicate the presence of a leak. This does not necessarily mean it will detect larger leaks or detect leaks faster, nor that it will detect leaks across a wider range of frequencies—those would require different improvements or characteristics in the detector's design.
