Which consequence unfolds when eigenfunctions fail spatial orthogonality?

💡 Explanation

When eigenfunctions are not spatially orthogonal, normalizing wavefunctions becomes problematic because completeness is compromised causing probability sums to deviate outside unitarity; therefore, unitarity of state changes is at risk, rather than those of options A, B, C where different orthogonality constraints might affect outcomes.
