Option B is correct, 
                             With increase in concentration the density of reactants increases and the system becomes more crowded, the greater the reactants will come in contact with each other and collisions occur. If collision is in proper orientation and has optimum energy then its fruitful and yields product. So, the greater the number of reactants, the greater will be the chances of collision and the greater will be the production of products per unit time and hence, greater is the rate of reaction.

A higher concentration makes a reaction faster because there are more collisions per second.

WHAT IS RATE OF REACTION:

  • The rate of a reaction refers to how fast or slow that reaction occurs. In other words, we can say it's the rate at which reactants combine to form products.

Several factors affect the rate of a reaction including;

  1. Enzymes
  2. Concentration of reactants
  3. Temperature and pressure etc.

  • However, the rate of reaction is increased when the concentration of the reactant is high because there will be more reactant molecules to collide.

Therefore, a higher concentration makes a reaction faster because there are more collisions per second.
