Solution

The correct option is C $Q_{C} < K_{C}$
A reaction with reaction quotient $Q_{C}$ and equilibrium constant $K_{C}$ , will proceed in the direction of the products when $Q_{C} < K_{C}$ .
This is because when $Q_{C} < K_{C}$ , the product concentration is less than equilibrium concentration and the reactant concentration is more than equilibrium concentration.
Hence, option (C) is the correct answer.
