Shutting off the A/C system is likely to result in the dripping stopping due to the nature of condensation that occurs during the air conditioning process. When the A/C system is operational, it cools the air and, as a result, moisture in the air condenses on the evaporator coils, forming water. This condensation is then expelled through the condensate drain, which often leads to drips.

Once the system is turned off, the evaporator coils no longer cool the air, and the condensation process ceases. As a result, there is no longer moisture being gathered and dripped from the system, leading to a halt in any dripping that was occurring before the A/C was shut off.

In contrast, if the other choices were considered, increasing dripping would suggest a malfunction or blockage in the condensate drain, which is not a typical consequence of simply turning off the A/C. Color change would imply the presence of different types of fluids, which wouldn’t occur solely from turning off the system. Continued dripping despite the system being off could indicate an ongoing leak or issue unrelated to normal condensation.
