The following data was obtained for the chemical reaction given below at $975 \ K$: $2 NO_{(g)} + 2 H_{2(g)} \rightarrow N_{2(g)} + 2 H_{2}O_{(g)}$

Experiment	$[NO] \ (mol \ L^{-1})$	$[H_{2}] \ (mol \ L^{-1})$	Rate $(mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1})$
$1$	$8 \times 10^{-5}$	$8 \times 10^{-5}$	$7 \times 10^{-9}$
$2$	$24 \times 10^{-5}$	$8 \times 10^{-5}$	$2.1 \times 10^{-8}$
$3$	$24 \times 10^{-5}$	$32 \times 10^{-5}$	$8.4 \times 10^{-8}$

The order of the reaction with respect to $NO$ is ..... .

• A
  $1$
• B
  $4$
• C
  $2$
• D
  $3$
