Solution
The correct option is A C>B>A
A Catalyst is a substance which accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction without undergoing any change in its chemical composition or mass during the reaction. A catalyst accelerates the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy.
Here, activation energy for different paths lies in the following sequence: C<B<A.
Lesser is the activation energy, greater is the ease with which the reaction can take place.
Hence, C>B>A is the order of decreasing ease with which the reaction can take place.
