If K_c = 0.143 at 25°C for this reaction,predict the direction in which the system will shift if the initial concentrations of C₆H₁₂ and MCP are 0.400 M and 0.300 M,respectively.The system

• A) will shift left.
• B) will shift right.
• C) is already at equilibrium.
• D) is not at equilibrium and will remain in an unequilibrated state.
