Solution

The correct option is C more than H
Activation energy is the energy which must be available to reactants to perform a reaction.
also,
energy absorbed= energy of products - energy of the reactants
For an endothermic reaction, the transition state is at a higher level than products.
so, Eactivation>Enthalpy(H)
