Which risk increases when uncombusted fuel enters an engine's exhaust stream?

💡 Explanation

The risk increases because uncombusted fuel reaching the catalytic converter undergoes rapid oxidation via catalytic action, resulting in excessive heat. This positive feedback causes thermal runaway, rather than bearing friction, because crankshaft issues relate more to lubrication failures rather than fuel in the exhaust.
