Which outcome increases when a catalyst degrades the d-orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Reduced interactions cause increased activation energy, because catalyst degradation diminishes the **orbital overlap** between reactant molecules and the catalyst d-orbitals; therefore, higher energy input is needed for reactions, rather than enhanced selectivity because of the destroyed structure.
