Which outcome occurs when a stellarator's magnetic field is disrupted during deuterium-tritium fusion?

A)Plasma quickly cools and quenches
B)High heat flux increases evenly
C)Tritium breeding reactions decline
D)Helium ash accumulates within fuel

💡 Explanation

Plasma disruption causes *thermal quench* because rapid loss of confinement releases energy onto plasma-facing components; therefore, a thermal quench stops fusion, rather than even heating, tritium decline, or helium retention, which all represent different operational scenarios.
