`(ii) 2NO +O_(2) to 2NO_(2)`
A. `NO_(2) ` is intermediate
B. `NO ` is catalyst
C. `NO_(2) ` is catayst and `NO ` is intermediate

Correct Answer - C
The reactants first combine with the catalyst to form an intermediate complex which is short lived and decomposes to form the product and regenerating the catalyst hence NO is intermediate complex and `NO_(2)` is the catalyst .
