In a kinetic study, the plot of [reactant] versus time is a straight line with a negative slope. The reaction follows

A
zero-order kinetics
B
first-order kinetics
C
second-order kinetics
D
fractional-order kinetics

Solution:

For a zero-order reaction,

$- \frac{d [A]}{d t} = k .$

Thus $[A]_{t} - [A]_{0} = - k t$

So, The reaction follows first-order kinetics.
