Which outcome is expected for a catalyst poison that selectively blocks active sites preventing pi-bond interactions?

💡 Explanation

Reduced catalytic reaction specificity occurs because blocking pi-bond interactions via *steric hindrance* changes reactant adsorption. Therefore catalyst selectivity decreases, rather than increasing the surface area; product inhibition or thermal sintering are not the initial results.
