The activation energy for the bimolecular reaction $\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{BC} \rightarrow \mathrm{AB}+\mathrm{C}$ is $\mathrm{E}_{0}$ in the gas phase. If the reaction is carried out in a confined volume of $\lambda_{3}$, the activation energy is expected to:
(a)Remain unchanged
(b)Increase with decreasing $\lambda$
(c)Decrease with decreasing $\lambda$
(d)Oscillate with decreasing $\lambda$
