Which outcome results when a dynamic equilibrium shifts?

💡 Explanation

The system responds to a stress and attains equilibrium via Le Chatelier's principle because the equilibrium adjusts to relieve the stress, therefore minimizing the effect of outside disturbances, rather than halting entirely or not responding.
