Which risk increases significantly as the reaction rate grows via autocatalysis?

💡 Explanation

An exponential rate increase leads to a fast heat release because positive feedback in *autocatalysis* escalates, therefore thermal runaway is more likely, rather than catalyst poisoning or inherently better selectivity without other controls.
