Solution

The correct option is D Increasing the amount of CO(g)
$C O (g) + H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O_{2} (g) + H_{2} (g)$
At constant volume, there is no effect of addition of inert gas to a reaction in equilibrium.
At constant pressure, for the reactions for which $Δ n = 0$ , there is no effect of addition of inert gas to a reaction in equilibrium.

The presence of a catalyst just helps to achieve the equilibrium at a different pace. It does not affect the amount of a reactant or a product at equilibrium.

Only if the reactant concentration is increased, the equilibrium shifts forward and the product concentration is increased.
