D. The reaction stops.

Explicar

## Step 1<br />In a chemical reaction, the limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed first. This reactant determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed in the reaction.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Once the limiting reactant is completely used up, the reaction stops. This is because there is no more of this reactant available to continue the reaction.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Even though there may be excess reactants left, they cannot react without the limiting reactant. Therefore, the reaction does not speed up or slow down, nor do the excess reactants begin combining.
