Which of the following statements about quantum tunneling is not true?

A) It is used in modern electronics and, in fact, our modern-day computers would not work without it. B) It plays a crucial role in nuclear fusion in the Sun. C) It allows electrons and other subatomic particles to pass through wall-like energy barriers even when it seems they do not have enough energy to get through the barriers. D) Although it has been observed to occur, it violates all other known laws of nature, and explaining it therefore represents a major challenge to physicists.
