Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of a reaction i.e. make it faster. Catalysts do this by reducing the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur.

According to the image in this question, a graph showing the energy of a reaction without a catalyst is displayed. This means that a longer time will be spent. However, with a catalyst, the activation energy will reduce as seen in the image in option D.
