Correct Answer

A

Explanation

If an equilibrium reaction has ΔH > 0, it means the reaction is endothermic, absorbing heat from the surroundings. According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the temperature will favor the endothermic reaction. Therefore, the reaction will proceed favorably in the forward direction at high temperature.
