Solution

The correct option is D Catalyst catalyses the non-spontaneous reaction
(i) Inhibitors are substances which reduce the rate of reaction.
(ii) Catalyst provide an alternate pathway or reaction mechanism by reducing the activation energy between the reactants and products.
(iii) Rate constant; k=AeEa/RT
So, on increasing temperature rate constant increases.
(iv) Catalyst catalyses the spontaneous reaction but does not catalyse the non-spontaneous reaction.
