Which outcome follows when the helium-3 supply in a fusion reactor diminishes, nearing depletion?

A)Increased parasitic neutron production
B)Amplified plasma energy confinement
C)Enhanced overall radiation shielding
D)Stable reaction cross-section threshold

💡 Explanation

Elevated deuterium-deuterium fusion results because helium-3 scarcity forces increased reliance on it; **neutron activation** raises as a result. Therefore, radiation hazard rises, rather than the reaction maintaining confinement because the process is now less controlled.
