Verified by Toppr
Correct option is C. increases the rate of backward and forward reactions In a reversible reaction, the catalyst decreases the activation energy of both, forward and backward reactions.
Catalyst provides an alternate pathway of lower activation energy for the reaction.
Hence the correct option is C.
