A
Shifts the equilibrium position to the left
B
Shifts the equilibrium position to the right
C
Does not affect the equilibrium position
D
Decreases the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc)

Correct Option: B
For an endothermic reaction (ΔH > 0), increasing the temperature will favour the endothermic direction (the forward reaction). As a result, the equilibrium position will shift to the right, favouring the formation of products.
