Options
- ABy ignoring the change and remaining in equilibrium.
- BBy shifting the equilibrium in the direction that exacerbates the change.
- CBy changing in a manner that reduces or counteracts the effect of the change.
- DBy accelerating the rate of the reaction.
Correct answer
C. By changing in a manner that reduces or counteracts the effect of the change.
