Options
A The forward reaction has ceased.
B The reverse reaction has ceased.
C The concentrations of reactants and products are equal.
D The rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal.
Correct Answer

At dynamic equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions proceed at equal rates, so there is no net change in concentrations. Concentrations are constant but not necessarily equal.

Hint

Equilibrium is dynamic, not static.
