    Explanation for each.

    A) if heat is removed ... the reaction would want to produce more heat and hence reaction will shift backward causing a decrease in PCl3.

    B) if Cl2 is added ... the reaction will shift in such a direction such to decrease the amount of Cl2 ... so backward ... again PCl3 will decrease.

    C) Reactant : product is 1:2 ... wrong as increase pressure imply decrease volume ...

    D) is correct as if the Pcl3 is removed ... more PCl3 will be produced
