A Rate of backward reaction will increase
B The equilibrium constant will shift
C Rates of forward and backward reactions are not affected
D Rate of forward reaction will increase

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:
The given reaction is endothermic, hence, a decrease in temperature will favor the exothermic side which is the backward reaction.
