Solution

The correct option is D Allow the equilibrium to be achieved quickly

An increase in rate of reaction in forward direction by a catalyst for a reaction in equilibrium brings in an increase in concentration of products and thus rate of backward reaction also increase to same magnitude and so allow the equilibrium to be achieved quickly.
