Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a system in equilibrium is brought to any change in concentration, temperature or pressure then the equilibrium will shift to the direction opposing the change.

Therefore, we can conclude that when a reaction has reached chemical equilibrium then Le Chatelier's principle will come into effect.
