Solution

The correct options are
A. Nature of reactants
B. Temperature
C. Catalyst

The factors that influence the rate of chemical reactions are:

1) Nature of reactants: Powdered materials react more vigorously than solid materials. Moreover, reactivity increases if a material is in a liquid or gaseous state.

2) Temperature: Temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecules and thus the rate of reaction increases.

3) Catalyst: Catalysts do not take part in a reaction directly but increase the rate of a reaction.
(Note - Pressure will affect the rate of reaction if the reactants are in gaseous form.)
