Which limitation arises when substrate concentration vastly exceeds catalyst sites?

A)Reaction rate approaches a maximum
B)Catalyst denaturing accelerates rapidly
C)Alternative pathways become thermodynamically favorable
D)Product inhibition becomes overwhelmingly dominant

💡 Explanation

The reaction rate plateaus, because all catalyst active sites are constantly occupied; this is limited by the reaction rate or product removal. Thus, the reaction rate approaches a maximum, rather than denaturing or shifting equilibrium conditions.
