Which outcome results when accelerated tritium undergoes beta decay?

A)Mass increase occurs in resulting Helium
B)Plasma confinement becomes inherently unstable
C)Total kinetic energy is unexpectedly lower
D)Neutron emission increases dramatically afterwards

💡 Explanation

Kinetic energy decreases because beta decay emits an electron and antineutrino, sharing initial energy; therefore, the resulting Helium has less kinetic energy than originally expected, rather than increased energy, because of released neutrino.
