Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature, or pressure, the system will shift in a direction that opposes that change in order to establish a new equilibrium.

Based on this, the correct answer is:

**b) a system at equilibrium will shift to oppose any changes and establish a new equilibrium.**
