Answer: Graph 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Activation energy is the level of energy required by a chemical reaction for the reaction to proceed.

A higher Activation energy will translate to a lower reaction rate because less molecules will be able to achieve this required energy needed for them to react. A lower activation energy however will enable a faster reaction time because more molecules will achieve the required energy.

Higher Activation energy = Lower Reaction rate

Lower Activation energy = Higher reaction rate

This is what Graph 3 shows so it is correct.
