Which risk increases when a spacecraft uses ion thrusters?

A)Electromagnetic interference with on-board systems
B)Increased radiation exposure to propellant
C)Thermal runaway in the plasma generator
D)Premature depletion of Xenon propellant

💡 Explanation

Electromagnetic interference increases because *electromagnetic induction* from the thruster's plasma field generates currents in spacecraft wiring. Therefore interference arises, rather than radiation or thermal issues associated with the plasma, because this is primarily electrical.
