Methanol synthesis (B)

Reaction:
CO+2H2​⇌CH3​OH

This reaction is:
* Exothermic
* Reversible
Industrially conducted at high pressure (50–100 atm) to shift the equilibrium toward methanol.

Catalytic methanol synthesis from syngas is a high-temperature, high-pressure exothermic reaction. The temperature and pressure can be controlled at 250 - 300°C and 50-150 bar (5-15 MPa), respectively.

So, option B is correct.
