Which consequence results when increased energy input surpasses catalyst optimum?

A)Reduced reaction selectivity
B)Increased catalyst lifespan
C)Lowered activation energy
D)Enhanced product purity

💡 Explanation

Selectivity decreases via catalyst poisoning from overheating. Overheating introduces defects, triggering undesired side reactions, because the *Arrhenius Equation* relates rate and temperature; therefore, selectivity diminishes with rising temperature, rather than enhancing purity or lifespan.
