The reaction, 2NO(g) + O2(g) → 2NO2(g) proceeds via the following steps:
NO + NO \[\xrightarrow{{{{\text{K}}_{\text{a}}}}}\] N2O2
N2O2 \[\xrightarrow{{{{\text{K}}_{{\text{a'}}}}}}\] NO + NO
N2O2 + O2 \[\xrightarrow[{\left( {{\text{slow}}} \right)}]{{{{\text{k}}_{\text{b}}}}}\]  NO2 + NO2
The rate of this reaction is equal to

A. 2kb[NO][O2]

B. (2Kakb[NO]2[O2])/(Ka + kb[O2])

C. 2kb [NO]2[O2]

D. Ka[NO]2[O2]
