What does the term ‘rate constant’ (k) signify?

A. The speed of the reaction
B. A value that varies with temperature
C. A constant value for all reactions
D. The concentration of products

Answer: A value that varies with temperature

Additional Information: The rate constant (k) changes with temperature and is specific to each reaction.
