Solution

The correct option is D Increasing the amount of $C O (g)$
Adding a reactant will drive the reaction in the forward direction in order to reestablish equilibrium. Therefore, addition of $C O (g)$ will increase the equilibrium amount of $C O_{2}$ .
Since $Δ n_{g} = 0$ , adding an inert gas or changing the volume would have no effect. A catalyst speeds up forward and backward reactions equally, so it would not affect the concentrations either.
