The activation energy decreases
The kinetic energy of the molecules increases
The rate of collision of the atoms increase
Thank you for the help.
The presence of the catalyst opens a different reaction pathway with a lower activation energy. (according to wikipedia)
So it cannot be the activation energy that is incorrect. I was sort of stuck between the other two.

The activation energy decreases is the one that is incorrect because a catalyst does not affect the energy required to carry out a reaction, the catalyst will just make the reaction go faster like your question says... it just speeds up the reaction
