Solution

The rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants. This is because as the concentration of reactants increases, the number of effective collisions between the reactant particles also increases. This leads to a higher probability of reactions taking place, thereby increasing the reaction rate. So, the correct answer is B. Collisions of the right energy are more likely.
