The right answer is the activation energy.
The catalyst increases the reaction rate by introducing new reaction paths (mechanism), and lowering its activation energy, or activation Gibbs free energy. By doing this it can increase the speed, or lower the temperature of the reaction. It is important to note that the catalyst does not alter the total Gibbs free energy of the reaction which is a system state function and therefore has no effect on the equilibrium constant.

Answer:
Pakicetus had an ear bone with a characteristic specific to whales and a distinctive long skull shape of a whale's.
Pakicetus
• Pakicetus was a wolf-sized animal and was a carnivore that at certain occasions consumed fish had exhibited features of its anatomy that associated it to the modern cetaceans, porpoises, whales, and dolphins.
• It had the body of a land animal, however, its head exhibited the distinctive long skull similar to a whale.
• With time, the fossils also showed that Pakicetus possessed an ear bone with a characteristic specific to whales.
Thus, pakicetus can be considered as the first whale who exhibited certain similar anatomic features like that of a whale.
