According to Le Chatelier's principle, an exothermic process is favored by a decrease in temperature. In this case, option C indicates a decrease in temperature as the reactant concentration 11ea888e_e2be_5787_a96f_2b604827ab1e_TB6107_11 is less than the product concentration 11ea888e_e2be_5788_a96f_6bab39640f89_TB6107_00, thus indicating an exothermic reaction.
