Which property of a fusion reactor core increases, leading to instability, when energy supplied approaches the binding energy threshold?

💡 Explanation

Increased energy near the binding threshold causes plasma instability because particle kinetic energy overcomes stabilizing electromagnetic forces causing Magnetohydrodynamic instability; therefore, the magnetic confinement weakens substantially, rather than improves, and fusion gain decreases.
