The answer is:

D. The equilibrium shifts in the direction that relieves the stress on the system.

The explanation:

because according to Le chatelier's principle for example when the concentration of the reactants increase so the reaction direction will be forward to decrease the change. So the direction will be to the right to start to increase the product concentration and achieve equilibrium again.
