Answer
A
triples the rate
B
quadruples the rate
C
no effect on the rate
D
doubles the rate

Explanation

The rate law is r = k[A]², so the rate depends on the square of concentration A. Doubling [A] changes the rate by a factor of 2² = 4. Therefore, doubling the concentration quadruples the rate, which is choice B.
