Which outcome results when increasing temperature in exothermic catalytic cracking?

A)Increased undesirable side reaction rates
B)Greater catalyst surface area adsorption
C)Enhanced reactant differential diffusion rates
D)Reduced equilibrium product conversion efficiency

💡 Explanation

Raising temperature excessively increases the undesired side reaction rates due to exceeding the **activation energy**. Higher temperatures provide adequate energy for unwanted reactions; therefore, conversion selectivity drops, rather than promoting wanted product formation from the primary reaction itself.
