Dodson · Answer 1

For every two AB produced, the reaction requires three A

Emilia Roth · Answer 2

It is C

Explanation:

A) does not make sense because we obviously see that it has 2 moles of AB (right side of equation) for every 3 moles of A (left side of equation). We do not have data to prove B) is correct. It would require data actually. We also do not have data to prove that D is true either. But, we do know based on the equation that "for every two AB produced, teh reaction requires three A."
