Solution

The correct option is C $K$ increases as temperature decreases
For the reaction in gas phase :
$2 N O ⇋ N_{2} + O_{2}$ $; Δ H = - 43.5$ $k c a l . m o l^{- 1}$
Here, on decreasing the temperature the value of $K$ will increase since the reaction is exothermic. $K$ is dependent on temperature and is independent of the concentration of reactants or products.
