No, A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The rate must be the same or else it will not be at equilibrium because the concentration would shift away from equilibrium. Concentration does not always have to be the same as most particles have different masses and activation energies and such. (Double check my reasoning but I know this answer is correct)
