Which consequence results when wave functions representing electrons in a quantum dot overlap due to increased confinement?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced quantum tunneling occurs because increased confinement raises energy levels, thereby reducing the barrier width, and facilitating tunneling across it rather than the blockade effect becoming intensified. Therefore, option A is correct, rather than options B, C or D.
