Hey guys, the no. Of moles must not be the same on both side of the equation.

new change in pressure does not affect reaction that has equal volume on both sides

Since there is hydrogen gas in the reaction above there will be an effect of pressure in the reaction. Hence since the reverse reaction has a greater number of gaseous molecules, an increase in pressure will favour the forward reaction and push the equilibrium position to the right.
Thanks

Like seriously at this I'm not sure if I can trust MYSCHOOL anymore, the answer is definitely B.
The effect of pressure applys as long as one of the species is gaseous
