Higher order `(gt3)` reaction are rare due to :

Options

A. shifting of equilibrium towards reactants due to elastic collisions.
B. loss of active species on collision.
C. low probability of simultaneous collision of all the reacting species.
D. increase in entropy and activation energy as more molecules are involved.

Answer

C

Explanation

Reactions of higher order (`gt 3`) are very rare due to very less chances of many molecules to undergo effective collisions.
