D. Decreased leakage of neutrons

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The presence of reflector in nuclear power plants results in Decreased leakage of neutrons.
A reflector is a region of unfueled material surrounding the core. Its function is to scatter neutrons that leak from the core, thereby returning some of them back into the core. This design feature allows for a smaller core size.
