ANSWER

The arrow will be shifted to the right (OPTION B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to write out the chemical reaction equation


N_(2(g))+3H_(2(g))\text{ }\rightleftarrows2NH_(3(g))\text{ + heat}

From the reaction above, you will see that heat is one of the products, this means that the reaction is n exothermic reaction.

An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction in which heat is released to its surroundings.

In an exothermic reaction, a decrease in temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right
