A
Decreases the activation energy.
💡 Explanation:
Catalyst is a substance, which lowers the activation energy of reaction because it provides an alternate pathway for reaction. Also, it increases backward and forward reaction to the same extent. Due to this lower activation energy, equilibrium is attained faster.
