← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when fusion energy output is mismatched?
A)Plasma instability quenches fusion process✓
B)Fuel depletion accelerates fusion reactions
C)Neutron flux stabilizes plasma temperature
D)Alpha particle confinement is automatically assured
💡 Explanation
Insufficient confinement triggers instability. Collisions are disrupted due to the **Magnetohydrodynamic instability**, because external fields cannot properly contain fuel. Therefore quench prevents supercritical heating, rather than continued heating or spurious regulation.
