Solution

The correct option is A favours backward reaction
The given reaction is :-
$C (d i a m o n d) ⇌ C (g r a p h i t e)$

Given, Density of diamond $= 3.5 g / m L$
density of graphite $= 2.3 g / m L$

$∵$ density of diamond > density of graphite

As the pressure is increased on the system at equilibrium then by Le Chatelier's principle, the reaction will shift towards the formation of a denser product. So, the backward reaction is favoured.
