What happens to the local airflow speed over the upper surface of a swept wing as an aeroplane approaches its Critical Mach Number (M_crit)?

Local airflow speed reaches Mach 1.0 at the point of maximum camber before the aircraft reaches Mach 1.0 Local airflow speed remains strictly subsonic until the free-stream Mach number reaches Mach 1.0 Local airflow speed decreases due to the boundary layer energisation over swept wings Local airflow speed becomes supersonic across the entire wing surface simultaneously

Correct Answer:

Local airflow speed reaches Mach 1.0 at the point of maximum camber before the aircraft reaches Mach 1.0
