Solution

The correct option is B temperature is reduced and pressure is increased
Given, SO2(g)+12O2(g)SO3(g); ΔH=ve (Exothermic)
ng=1121=12

Since, the reaction is exothermic. So on increasing temperature, reaction goes on backward direction. Hence yield of SO3 decreases. Also, on increasing pressure volume is decreased. So reaction goes on forward direction. Hence yield of SO3 increases.
