Biotransformation of an organic compound having concentration (x) can be modeled using an ordinary differential equation $$\frac{{{\text{dx}}}}{{{\text{dt}}}} + {\text{k}}{{\text{x}}^2} = 0,$$ where k is the reaction rate constant. If x = a at t = 0, the solution of the equation is
A. x = ae-kt
B. $$\frac{1}{{\text{x}}} = \frac{1}{{\text{a}}} + {\text{kt}}$$
C. x = a(1 - e-kt)
D. x = a + kt
