detailed solution

Correct option is B

The value of KP remains constant as temperature is not changed.

Temperature affects the value of the equilibrium constant, Kp. For exothermic and endothermic processes, the variation is different. When temperature rises, the equilibrium for an endothermic forward reaction shifts towards the right and favours the production of additional products, increasing the value of kp in the process.
