Which outcome occurs when an electron's wave function overlaps two potential wells?

A)Quantum tunneling becomes more probable✓

B)Electron spin becomes strongly correlated

C)Energy levels become sharply quantized

D)Heisenberg uncertainty dominates momentum

💡 Explanation

Increased wave function overlap between potential wells amplifies **quantum tunneling** enabling the electron to pass through the barrier because the probability amplitude increases at the second well; therefore, tunneling increases, rather than correlation effects quantum coherence.
