Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

Increase the volume:

If the volume of the container is increased, the pressure will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where increase in pressure is taking place. So, the equilibrium will shift in a direction where more number gaseous moles are present.

A) $2COF_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+CF_4(g)$
