Answer:

Higher activation energy results in slower reaction rate. Option D is correct

Explanations:

Activation energy is the energy required needed by compounds or molecules to undergo chemical reactions.

The activation energy of a reaction is related to the rate of reaction. They are both inversely related. In order words, as the activation energy becomes higher, the rate of reaction becomes slower.
