Given the information, it's not possible to directly calculate the rate without the specific rate law or reaction order. However, assuming a simple rate law where the rate = k[NOS][CO] and given typical reaction orders (1st order with respect to each reactant), the rate would be proportional to the product of the concentrations. Without the exact values or rate constant (k), we can't calculate the exact rate, but the correct choice would depend on understanding the principles of reaction rates and the provided options in the context of a hypothetical or theoretical scenario. Choice B is selected based on an assumption in the absence of specific details from "Exhibit 13-8".
