Solution
The correct option is B High temperature and low pressure H2X2(g)+heat⇌2HX(g). Reaction is endothermic and number of moles increasing in forward direction so according to Le chatelier's principle for formation of HX, Temperature of the reaction should be high and pressure should be low since decrease in pressure favors the side that has more number of moles.
