Solution

The correct option is A activation energy of reaction
The role of a catalyst is to change the activation energy of the reaction. However, catalyst does not changes Gibbs energy of reaction, enthalpy of reaction and equilibrium constant.
A catalyst provides an alternate pathway of lower activation energy.
