Which outcome results when insufficient magnetic confinement affects deuterium-tritium fusion?

A)Plasma quenches on reactor walls
B)Increased neutron absorption by shielding
C)Enhanced alpha particle confinement occurs
D)Tritium breeding ratio unexpectedly increases

💡 Explanation

Plasma quenching occurs because reduced magnetic confinement allows energetic particles to collide with reactor walls, therefore energy loss occurs rather than sustained fusion because confinement time decreases below the Lawson criterion.
