Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Dynamic equilibrium
Concept:

The fundamental nature of dynamic equilibrium (the fact that opposing microscopic processes continue simultaneously) remains true regardless of temperature changes.

Solution:

  • While changing the temperature definitely shifts the position (the \( K_c \) value) of an equilibrium, it does not stop the microscopic motion.


  • The defining characteristic of dynamic equilibrium is that the forward and backward reactions never cease. They just re-balance at a new rate.


  • Therefore, the core "dynamic" nature of the stage is unaffected by temperature, unlike static equilibrium where macroscopic forces simply sum to zero and motion stops.


Why other options are incorrect:

Static equilibrium applies to physics (forces on resting objects), not typical chemical reactions. Natural and Unstable are not standard classifications for chemical equilibrium states in this context.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
