Solution

The correct option is A the forward reaction
Pressure is increased in the Haber process for making ammonia. It favors the forward reaction.
$N_{2} + 3 H_{2} \to 2 N H_{3}$
The reaction proceeds with decrease in the number of moles of gaseous species. With increase in pressure, the equilibrium shifts in forward direction with decrease in the number of moles of gaseous species so that, the effect of increased pressure is nullified.
