A
To increase the plasma temperature
💡 Explanation:
The primary goal of plasma heating in fusion energy research is to increase the plasma temperature to the required level for fusion reactions to occur. This is because fusion reactions require extremely high temperatures, typically in the range of millions of degrees Celsius, to overcome the electrostatic repulsion between atomic nuclei.
