Solution

The correct option is D PCl5PCl3+Cl2
The increase of pressure will shift the equilibrium position in the direction of a decrease in the number of moles.
For the reaction PCl5PCl3+Cl2, the forward reaction occurs with an increase in the number of moles from 1 to 2. Also, the reverse reaction occurs with a decrease in the number of moles from 2 to 1.
When the pressure of the system is increased, the backward reaction will be favoured as the reverse reaction occurs with a decrease in the number of moles.

Option D is correct.
