Which risk increases when a desiccant such as silica gel undergoes complete moisture absorption?

💡 Explanation

Reduced adsorption occurs because saturation negates the *capillary condensation* mechanism within the gel, therefore no further water molecules are drawn, rather than phase change because the water has already condensed into the gel's capillaries causing deactivation.
