a
Example B would be faster because of a low surface area.
b
Example A would be faster because of a high surface area.
c
Example B would be faster because of a high surface area.
d

The correct answer is: b - Example A would be faster because of a high surface area.

In a chemical reaction, a higher surface area typically allows for more collisions between reactant particles, leading to a faster reaction rate. If Example A has a higher surface area compared to Example B, it is likely to react faster.
