Solution

The correct option is B False
A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed at the end of the reaction and the phenomenon is called catalysis. There are some catalysts which decrease the rate of reaction and such catalysts are called a negative catalyst.
Negative catalyst slows down the reaction as it increases activation energy.
