Solution

The correct option is D Remains unaffected
In the formula of $K_{e q}$ concentration of solid compounds are not included
hence for the given reaction, $K_{e q} =$ Concentration of $C O_{2}$ .
So, the concentration of $C a C O_{3}$ does not effect the equilibrium concentration of $C O_{2}$ .
