Solution
The correct answer is "If the cream is added too quickly the eggs may cook." This process is known as tempering. If you add hot cream too quickly to the egg yolks, the heat can cause the eggs to cook and form lumps, which would result in a grainy custard. By adding the hot cream slowly and gradually, you raise the temperature of the egg yolks gently, preventing them from cooking.
