Which outcome occurs when a quantum dot's physical geometry confines electron wave functions?

💡 Explanation

When the quantum dot confines electron wave functions, quantum confinement causes discrete energy levels to form because the electrons are forced into a limited space. Therefore, the energy levels are quantized, rather than the free flow implied by enhanced mobility in option B.
