In most cases,for a rise of $10 \ K$ temperature,the rate constant is doubled or tripled. This is due to the reason that

  • A
    collision frequency increases by a factor of $2$ to $3$
  • B
    fraction of molecules possessing threshold energy increases by a factor of $2$ to $3$
  • C
    Activation energy is lowered by a factor of $2$ to $3$
  • D
    none of these
