Which consequence results when a stellarator plasma breaches confinement limits?

💡 Explanation

Elevated neutron flux occurs due to increased plasma-wall interaction after a loss of confinement. Escaping high-energy deuterium and tritium ions directly impact stellarator components, because direct impact is neutron activation, rather than sustained fusion. Therefore, A is correct, rather than reactions deep within the plasma.
