Detailed Solution

According to Arrehenious equations,
k=AeEa/RT greater is Ea, the smaller is K, i.e. ,rate of reaction 1 height of energy barrier , steps leading to the height of peak will not be R.D.S. (rate determining step) if the concentration used in some other step is sufficiently high. Since first step is R.D.S. Therefore first peak should be high as it is in (3).
