Answer:

You didn't give any options/statements, so I'm just going to give you context on what catalysts does. Catalysts decrease the activation energy needed, allowing more particles for successful reactions.

I know my colleague tried doing an experiment by using hydrogen peroxide as a catalyst and seeing how rates of reactions were affected. It ended up with a stain on our chemistry lab and him re-doing his entire lab.
