Which of the following statements is correct about reversible reactions in closed systems?

A. Initially, the concentration of reactants is low, so the reaction rate of the forward reaction is also low. Over time, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions equalize, and the system reaches a state of chemical equilibrium.

B. Initially, the concentration of reactants is low, so the reaction rate of the forward reaction is also low. Over time, the rate of the forward reaction becomes zero, and the system reaches a state of chemical equilibrium.

C. Initially, the concentration of products is low, so the reaction rate of the reverse reaction is also low. Over time, the rate of the forward reaction becomes zero, and the system reaches a state of chemical equilibrium.

D. Initially, the concentration of products is low, so the reaction rate of the reverse reaction is also low. Over time, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions equalize, and the system reaches a state of chemical equilibrium.
