Within high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which outcome results when target molecules lack sufficient mobile phase interaction?

A)Peak broadening reduces signal resolution
B)Elution order alters unpredictably
C)Column pressure increases exponentially
D)Mobile phase viscosity dramatically rises

💡 Explanation

Peak broadening reduces signal resolution because insufficient mobile phase interaction impedes proper separation, leading to molecules eluting closely together due to inadequate partitioning via intermolecular forces along stationary phase; therefore peaks broaden, rather than maintain narrow widths with correct resolution that occurs upon correct partitioning.
