Which consequence results when temperature decreases during exothermic reversible catalytic reaction?

A)Equilibrium shifts towards product formation
B)Catalyst deactivation rate increases rapidly
C)Reverse reaction rate increases sharply disproportionately
D)Overall activation energy barrier lessens

💡 Explanation

Lowering the temperature shifts the equilibrium towards products via Le Chatelier's principle, because the system compensates for the induced stress; therefore, more stable products form, rather than increasing catalyst decay under these conditions.
