Answer:The correct answer si option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation:


k=Ae^{(-E_a)/(RT)}

k = Rate constant of the reaction at temperature T.

A = frequency factor


E_a = Activation energy.

R = universal gas constant


k\propto (1)/(E_a)

The graph clearly tells us that the activation energy of the reaction A is more than the reaction B.

This means that rate constant of the reaction A is smaller than the rate constant of the reaction B according Arrhenius equation.

As we know that higher the value of rate constant more will be the rate of the reaction.Then the rate of reaction B is more than that of the rate of reaction A.

Hence, the the correct answer is option B.
