Consider the following statements related to the temperature dependence of rate constants. Identify the correct statements:
$A.$ The Arrhenius equation holds true only for an elementary homogeneous reaction.
$B.$ The unit of $A$ is the same as that of $k$ in the Arrhenius equation.
$C.$ At a given temperature,a low activation energy means a fast reaction.
$D.$ $A$ and $E_a$ as used in the Arrhenius equation depend on temperature.
$E.$ When $E_a > RT$,$A$ and $E_a$ become interdependent.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The activation energy of a first-order reaction at $25\,^{\circ}C$ is $30\,kJ/mol$. In the presence of a catalyst,the activation energy of the same reaction at $25\,^{\circ}C$ becomes $24\,kJ/mol$. The rate of the reaction in the presence of the catalyst will be how many times the original rate?

How does the rate of reaction change with an increase in temperature?

The rate constant for the first order decomposition of a certain reaction is described by the equation $\ln k (s^{-1}) = 14.34 - \frac{1.25 \times 10^{4} \ K}{T}$. The energy of activation for this reaction is
