For the reaction $2HI_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons H_{2(g)} + I_{2(g)}$,the equilibrium constant $K$ at room temperature is $2.85$,and at $698 \ K$ it is $1.4 \times 10^{-2}$. This indicates that:

  • A
    $HI$ is an acidic compound.
  • B
    $HI$ is very stable at room temperature.
  • C
    $HI$ is less stable relative to $H_2$ and $I_2$.
  • D
    $HI$ possesses resonance stability.
