An elementary liquid phase decomposition reaction 
is to be carried out in a CSTR. The design equation is
is to be carried out in a CSTR. The design equation iskτ = XA/(1 - XA)
kτ = XA(1 + XA)/(1 + XA)
kτ = XA/(1 - XA)2

But it says "elementary", so the law should follow the stoichiometric equation.

@Aall.
From decomposition reaction, we can't say the order of reaction, but sometimes zero-order also, for example, decomposition of ammonia is a zero-order reaction, otherwise, he has to mention that rate equation.

Option A is right for 1st order reaction.
But in question, they didn't mention that order of the reaction. So the question does not have clarity.
