Solution

The correct option is C $2480.3 K$
$△ G^{\circ} = △ H^{\circ} - T △ S^{\circ}$
For a reaction to be spontaneous $△ G^{\circ}$ must be negative or less than zero i.e., $△ H^{\circ} - T △ S^{\circ} < 0$
$T > \frac{△ H^{\circ}}{△ S^{\circ}} \Rightarrow T > \frac{491.1 \times 1000}{198} T > 2480.3 K$ .
So , the reaction will be feasible above the temperature $2480.3 K$
