Can i get help with this problem 

**Question:** What is the activation energy for the reaction B → A in the following diagram?

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram is a potential energy graph depicting the energy changes during a chemical reaction. It includes:

- **Y-Axis:** Labeled as Energy.
- **X-Axis:** Labeled as Reaction Coordinate.
- A curve representing the energy changes of the reaction is drawn along the graph.
- Various points labeled A, B, C, D, and E are marked along the energy curve.
- The initial energy level (labeled A) represents the potential energy of reactant B.
- The peak of the curve (labeled D) represents the transition state or the highest energy point of the reaction.
- Points marked on the vertical axis show different energy levels associated with different stages of the reaction.

**Options:**
- ○ B
- ○ D
- ○ E
- ○ C
- ○ A

**Note:**

The activation energy is the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state, typically represented by the difference between A (or a similar point at the reactant level) and the peak, D.
