Answer:

right - towards the products.

Explanation:

  • Le Châtelier's principle states that when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

By removing oxygen from the reaction, this means that the concentration of the products is decreased.

To attain the equilibrium again, the reaction is shifted toward the products side.

So, the right choice is: right - towards the products.
