Which outcome results when a turbocharger's wastegate malfunctions and remains closed during high engine load?

💡 Explanation

When a wastegate remains closed, boost pressure increases uncontrolled because it cannot vent excess exhaust gas, leading to cylinder pressures exceeding design limits, causing knock. Therefore engine knock results, rather than fuel starvation, catalyst failure, or increased filter efficiency each requiring different pressure scenarios or fuel conditions.
