Step-by-step explanation:

The other answer has a good explanation and I don't have time to explain right now cause it's 1AM and I need sleep lol. Just wanna confirm for other students out there struggling like me :)

Answer 2

In a chemical reaction equation, the ones written on the left of the arrow are the reactants and on the right are the products. If there is a reaction, it should be understood that the reactant quantity should decrease and the product quantity should increase. From the given choices, the most logical thing to occur if there is a reaction is letter D. decrease in CH3Br over time.
