(a)
Interpretation:
The reaction favors the reactant or the product the most should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Stronger the acid then more it dissociate to loose the proton and weak conjugate base which will not accepts the proton again and hence the equilibrium contains mostly the products while in weaker acid, the dissociation not takes place at that extent and hence the equilibrium favours the reactant mostly.
