The statement (D) is incorrect for a catalyst. The correct statement is, "It does not increase/decrease the free energy change for the reaction."
A catalyst does not affect the energies of reactants and products of the reaction and hence, the energies are same for both catalyzed and non-catalyzed reactions.
