Solution

The correct option is A absorbs
If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, volume or pressure then, the equilibrium shifts to counteract the imposed change and a new equilibrium is established.
Therefore, If the temperature of the system of equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction which absorbs heat. It is a direct implication of the Le Chatelier's principle (effect of pressure and temperature).

Q. Statement I: When the temperature of a reaction at equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift to favor the endothermic direction
Because
Statement II: Endothermic reactions involve heat acting as a reactant and Le Chateliers principle states that an equilibrium shift will occur to offset temperature changes

Q. Assertion (A): Increase of pressure for a reaction which is in equilibrium shifts the equilibrium towards direction where less number of moles are present.
Reason (R): The change in pressure in an equilibrium reaction changes the position or direction of equilibrium.
