The rate equation depends on the rate-determining step (the slowest step) in the mechanism.

For Mechanism A:
The rate-determining step is NO₂(g) + NO₂(g) → N₂O₄(g)
Rate = k [NO₂]²

For Mechanism B:
The rate-determining step is NO₂(g) + NO₂(g) → NO(g) + NO₃(g)
Rate = k [NO₂]²

For Mechanism C:
The rate-determining step is NO₂(g) → N(g) + O₂(g)
Rate = k [NO₂]

The answer: Mechanism A and Mechanism B
