Detailed Solution

Catalyst increases the rate of the reaction but it does not alters the position of equilibrium. This is due to the fact that the presence of catalyst reduces energy barrier between reactant and product by providing an alternative path for the reaction that has less activation energy.

Therefore, option B is correct.
