Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Equilibrium Definition

At chemical equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain constant (no net change), so the graph lines should be horizontal (constant concentration over time).

Step2: Analyze Each Line

  • Line A: Horizontal (constant concentration), matches equilibrium condition.
  • Line C: Still changing (sloping), not equilibrium.
  • Line B: Intersection, but concentrations still changing (lines not horizontal yet).

Answer: line A
