The rate equation is R = k [HI]^2
Where R is the rate constant and [HI] is the molar concentration of HI.
Here k = 1.6 * 10 ^-3 M^-1 s^-1 and [HI] is 0.045 M.
Then you just need to replace the two values in the rate equation:
R = 1.6 * 10^-3 M^-1 s^-1 * (0.045 M)^2 = 3.24 * 10^-6 M/s
Which using two significant figures is 3.2 * 10^-6 M/s
Then, the answer is the option B.
