Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
Secondary treatment or biological treatment: The primary effluent is passed into large tanks where air is pumped into it. This allows vigorous growth of aerobic microbes. While growing, these microbes consume the major part of the organic matter in the effluent. This significantly change the BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) of the effluent. The effluent in then passed into a tank a small part of the sludge is pumped back into the aeration tank to serve as the inoculum. The remaining major part of the sludge is pumped into large tanks called sludge digesters. Here, other kinds of bacteria grow anaerobically in the sludge. The biogas produced can be used source of energy as it is inflammable. The effluent from the secondary treatment plant is generally released into natural water bodies like rivers and streams.

- A Less is its pollution level
- B Less is its oxygen consumption
- C More is its pollution level

Kinetic studies not only help us to determine the rate of a chemical reaction but also describe the conditions by which the reaction rates can be altered.
The factors such as concentration, temperature, pressure and catalyst affect the rate of a reaction.
The speed of a reaction or the rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant or product in unit time.
Rate \(=k[A]^x[B]^y\)
Here \(k\) is the rate constant
\(z+y\) gives the overall order of a reaction, whereas \(z\) and \(y\) represent the order with respect to the reactants \(A\) and \(B\), respectively.
The order of a reaction which does not exist is:CUET 2023 Medium - Which among the following are correctly matched?
