Consider a catalytic reaction where the catalyst binds and releases substrates in rapid succession as part of the pre-equilibrium steps. How does this affect the overall reaction rate? 

A.
The overall reaction rate is limited by the binding and release of the catalyst.
B.
The overall reaction rate is unaffected by the catalyst's binding and release.
C.
The overall reaction rate is increased due to the involvement of the catalyst.
D.
The overall reaction rate is determined by the slowest step after the pre-equilibrium steps.
