Which outcome occurs in inertial confinement fusion when energy input fails?

A)Reaction pressure quenches expansion.
B)Plasma energy exceeds binding energy.
C)Increased breeding of fissile material.
D)Alpha particles overcome Coulomb forces.

💡 Explanation

If pulsed lasers or particle beams fail to deliver sufficient energy, plasma temperature can't be maintained; therefore, the fusion reaction cannot overcome radiative losses, and reaction pressure decreases such that any inertial implosion is immediately quenched, rather than achieving sustained fusion conditions.
