Answer: option B. when the equilibrium constant is large.

Remember the equilibrium constant is the product of the concentrations of the products (each raised to the correspondant estoichiometric coefficient) divided by th product of the concentrations of the reactans (each raised to the correspondant coefficient).

So, the larger the concentration of the products the larger the equailibrium constant, that drives to conclude that a large equilibrium constant favors the yield of the products (forward reaction).
