For 2NO(g)+Cl2(g)2NOCl(g)2NO(g) + Cl_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NOCl(g), raising [NO][NO] from 0.10 to 0.20 moldm30.20\ mol\,dm^{-3} at constant [Cl2][Cl_2] raised the initial rate from 0.0001 to 0.0004 moldm3s10.0004\ mol\,dm^{-3}\,s^{-1}. The order with respect to NO is

A0
B1
C2
D3
Explanation: Doubling the concentration multiplied the rate by four, and 22=42^2 = 4.
