If a redundant structure fails it becomes
- fatigued
- safe-life
- failsafe
Explanation from PART66Online
A redundant (fail-safe) structure is so called because, when one member fails, the remaining load paths still carry the load and keep the structure safe until the damage is found. The structure thus behaves fail-safe rather than reverting to a safe-life or simply fatigued condition.

The answer is FAILSAFE due to if a structure fail other structure (redundant) carry the load.
Safe life depend on LIFE of component. After FH or FC must be replaced... means that the component must be replaced BEFORE FAIL
