JEE Main Chemistry question

A catalyst:

(A)Increases the average kinetic energy of the reacting molecules
(B)Increases the activation energy
(C)Alters the reaction mechanismCorrect
(D)Increases the frequency of collisions of the reacting species

Answer: (C)

Solution

A catalyst does not change the temperature (so average kinetic energy is unaffected) or the collision frequency directly; what it fundamentally does is make
