Which mechanism undermines magnetic confinement in fusion reactors?

💡 Explanation

Resistive tearing mode causes magnetic island formation leading to field line reconnection and plasma escape from the reactor, because it undermines containment by disrupting field topology; therefore leading to confinement loss, rather than instabilities from particle drift causing minor losses.
