The right answer is option (D).

This indicates that the effect of pressure on equilibrium depends on the change in the number of moles of gaseous species, i.e., the stoichiometric coefficients.

You are right, Thanks @PRASURJYA DAS.

"Equilibrium constants are not changed if we change the concentrations of things present in the equilibrium. And the only thing that changes an equilibrium constant is a change of temperature"

The Pressure equilibrium constant doesn't change, but its position can shift with pressure change as per the reaction's stoichiometry as option mentioned D.
