Solution

The correct option is C Addition of inert gas does not affect equilibrium
When an inert gas is added to an equilibrium system at constant volume, there will be an increase in the total pressure of the system. However, the concentrations of the products and reactants will not change. Therefore, there will be no effect on the equilibrium.
