    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    Consider an elementary reaction A⇔B   and let equilibrium concentrations of A and B be Ca and Cb,
    So equilibrium constant (K) is K1=CbCa
    When the concentrations of both the species doubled equilibrium constant becomes K=2Cb2Ca⇒K=K1.     Hence remains constant.
