Which consequence results when an ultra-high vacuum system exhibits increased outgassing?

💡 Explanation

Increased outgassing leads to higher residual gas pressure; this outcome means the system absorbs more energy via increased binding energy absorption, because the residual gasses now interact more readily with surfaces. Therefore, option B is correct rather than reduced mean free path.
