Solution

The correct option is A lowering the temperature and increasing pressure
Option (A) is correct.
An increase in temperature favours endothermic reaction whereas an increase in pressure favours the reaction showing a decrease in mole or volume.
An increase in temperature is the result of the flow of heat into the system. In an endothermic reaction, an increase in temperature favours the reaction to occur in the forward direction reverse in case of exothermic.
When there is a decrease in pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side of the reaction with more moles of gas.
