Exposing superfluid helium-4 to elevated pressure at constant cryogenic temperatures causes which outcome?

A)Superfluidity is abruptly eliminated.
B)Viscosity continuously transitions towards solid.
C)Critical temperature increases exponentially.
D)Density remains unchanged indefinitely.

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure disrupts the quantum entanglement sustaining superfluidity; therefore BEC-like condensate collapses via a phase transition. Disruption of Bose-Einstein Condensation occurs because increased interatomic distances inhibit quantum tunnelling, rather than gradual kinetic changes.
