E. All of the above.

DISCUSSION: These physical factors are interactive. Less energy is delivered through a small portal than through a large one. Multiple portals permit concentration of the radiation in the area to be treated and spare skin and viscera from damage. There is less risk of injury from irradiation of a given intensity if more fractions are applied.
