Reversible reactions and equilibrium — practice question

The decomposition of dinitrogen tetroxide, $\text{N}_2\text{O}_4$, to give nitrogen dioxide, $\text{NO}_2$, is a reversible reaction. $\text{N}_2\text{O}_4(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NO}_2(g)$. The forward reaction is endothermic. Which row indicates how the equilibrium position and the rate of the reverse reaction change when the temperature is increased?
