This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

AX: catalysed reaction, Y: uncatalysed reaction, Z: energy lost by product
BX: catalysed reaction, Y: uncatalysed reaction, Z: overall energy lost during reaction
CX: uncatalysed reaction, Y: catalysed reaction, Z: energy gained by product
DX: uncatalysed reaction, Y: catalysed reaction, Z: overall energy released during reaction

✓ Correct answer

D: X: uncatalysed reaction, Y: catalysed reaction, Z: overall energy released during reaction
