Which consequence results when excessive torsion distorts nanotubes?

A)Increased quantum tunneling resistance drastically
B)Spontaneous electron delocalization throughout structure
C)Van der Waals attraction diminishes
D)Metallic bonding strength gets amplified

💡 Explanation

Reduced overlap between carbon atoms via bond angle distortions induces increased quantum tunneling resistance, because that's the path of least resistance. The band gap widens therefore, and A occurs, rather than electron delocalization, where orbitals are actually being physically disrupted.
