Dear student 
For the first-order reaction, the half-life period is independent of the concentration of the reactants 
t half life = 0.693/K 
Hence, option B is false and option C is true.
Half-life is when half of the concentration is reacted not the half the time required for the reaction to go to completion.
Hence, the answers are B and D

The rate of a fast reaction is high. Hence, a fast reaction has a large rate-constant and short half-life. Thus option A is true.

For the first-order reaction, the half-life period is independent of the concentration of the reactants. t1/2
=

.0.693/k 
Hence, option B is false and option C is true.
Half-life is when half of the concentration is reacted not the half the time required for the reaction to go to completion.
 
Hence, the answers are B and D
