Solution

The correct option is B decreases and increases
Exothermic Reactions
If $K_{c}$ decreases with an increase in temperature, the reaction shifts to the left.
If $K_{c}$ increases with a decreases in temperature, the reaction to shifts to the right.
Endothermic Reactions
If $K_{c}$ increases with an increase in temperature, the reaction to shifts to the right.
If $K_{c}$ decreases with a decrease in temperature, the reaction to shifts to the left.
