Which risk significantly increases when a solid catalyst's active sites become saturated?

💡 Explanation

Product selectivity is reduced once competitive inhibition begins, caused by saturation, because excess reactant blocks product formation via the Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, therefore, multiple products form, rather than the desired one, because the catalyst can't bind selectively at its active sites.
