The rate law is given as rate = k[reactant]^1, with k = 2.64 × 10^-4 M^-1 min^-1 and the initial concentration of the reactant is 0.0250 M. Substituting these values into the rate law gives rate = (2.64 × 10^-4 M^-1 min^-1)(0.0250 M) = 6.60 × 10^-6 M min^-1, which matches option D after correcting the superscript formatting.
