Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) \(\rightleftharpoons\)

For explanation: The symbol that has both the left-sided harpoon and right-sided harpoon together is a symbol used for the equilibrium in a chemical reaction. It denotes that the backward and the forward rates are equal and is represented by the symbol “\(\rightleftharpoons\)”.
