A.
Shift the equilibrium towards right
B.
Give higher yield of NH3
C.
Both A and B
Answer
D.
Neither A nor B

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
By Le Chatelier's principle the increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium towards less number of moles side so, here the equilibrium shifts towards the right side thereby, increasing the concentration of
