Solution

The correct option is A Temperature is increased
The equilibrium reaction is CaCO3(s)CaO(s)+CO2(g);ΔH=110kJ.

Positive value of the enthalpy change indicates that the reaction is endothermic.

The forward reaction is favored by increasing temperature.

Thus, when the temperature is increased, more carbon dioxide is formed which increases the pressure of carbon dioxide until it reaches a constant value.

Hence, option A is correct.
