A chemical reaction is carried out at two different temperatures

T_1

and

T_2 \left(T_2>T_1\right) and also with and without a catalyst. The statement that is correct among the following is

ALowering in the activation energy of the reaction due to catalyst would be higher at $\mathrm{T}_2$ than at $\mathrm{T}_1$
BLowering in the activation energy of the reaction due to catalyst would be higher at $\mathrm{T}_1$ than at $\mathrm{T}_2$
CThe factor by which the rate of the reaction is increased by the catalyst would be lower at $\mathrm{T}_2$ than at $\mathrm{T}_1$
DThe factor by which the rate of the reaction is increased by the catalyst would be higher at $T_2$ than at $T_1$

C. The factor by which the rate of the reaction is increased by the catalyst would be lower at $\mathrm{T}_2$ than at $\mathrm{T}_1$
