Solution

The correct option is D 2AsH3(s)2As(s)+3H2(g)
Auto-catalysis is defined as the reaction that is catalyzed by one of its product. in auto-catalysis product of reaction acts as a catalyst for the reaction. In auto-catalysis the initial rate of reaction rises as the catalytic product is formed instead of decreasing steadily.
for example: the free arsenic produced by decomposition of arsine auto catalyses the reaction. The thermal decomposition of Arsine produces arsenic and hydrogen. 2AsH3 forms 2As + 3H2
