According to Arrhenius theory,the activation energy is

  • A
    The energy it should possess so that it can enter into an effective collision
  • B
    The energy which the molecule should possess in order to undergo reaction
  • C
    The energy it has to acquire further so that it can enter into an effective collision
  • D
    The energy gained by the molecules on colliding with another molecule
