Chemistry Question on Rate and performance equations for catalyst deactivation

The initial rate of a reaction in which the substrate, S, undergoes a reaction in the presence of catalyst C, was found to be equal to v0 = K2[S]0[C]0[S]0+Km\frac{K_2[S]_0[C]_0}{[S]_0+Km} The probable condition in which the reaction took place was

A

[C]0<<[S]0[C]_0<<[S]_0

B

[C]0>>[S]0[C]_0>>[S]_0

C

[C]0=[S]0[C]_0=[S]_0

D

Insufficient information.

Answer

[C]0<<[S]0[C]_0<<[S]_0

Explanation

Solution

The correct answer is (A) :[C]0<<[S]0[C]_0<<[S]_0
