Option A. is correct

Explanation:

A reaction is at equilibrium when the amounts of the reactants and products are no longer changing.

Chemical equilibrium means that the rate of formation of products is equal to the rate at which the products re-form reactants.

Products are formed by the forward reaction and by the reverse reaction, the products re-form reactants.
