When a reaction has reached equilibrium, the correct statement is:

The reaction rate is equal in both directions.

At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, meaning that the concentrations of the reactants and products remain constant over time, but the reactions are still proceeding in both directions.
