In the reaction: A + B $\rightarrow$ C, where: rate = k[A][B], Which of the following is true?
A) The rate is first order with respect to A
B) The rate is first order with respect to B
C) The rate is second order overall
D) All of the above are true.

The rate law indicates that the reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of both A and B, each raised to the first power, making it first order with respect to each reactant. Since the sum of the exponents is 2 (1 for A and 1 for B), the overall reaction order is second.
