Which consequence results when excessive thermal energy prevents nucleon binding within a fusion reactor?

A)Plasma cools, fusion rate decreases✓

B)Neutron flux increases uncontrollably

C)Helium-3 production sharply accelerates

D)Tritium generation becomes more efficient

💡 Explanation

If nucleons possess enough thermal energy to overcome the strong nuclear force, then fusion reactions cease through ineffective nucleon binding, because fusion relies on nucleons held together; therefore, the plasma temperature drops and halts effective collisions for fusion, rather than inducing chain reactions.
