Solution

The correct option is C
If the activation energy of the forward reaction is more than that of the backward reaction, the reaction is endothermic in nature.

Option (C) is an endothermic reaction with comparatively high activation energy while option (D) is an endothermic reaction with comparatively low activation energy.
