The correct answer is: $4 \mathrm{r}$
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{k}[\mathrm{A}][\mathrm{B}][\mathrm{C}]^2 \\ & \mathrm{~A} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{~A} \\ & \mathrm{~B} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{~B} \\ & \mathrm{r}_{\text {new }}=\mathrm{k}[2 \mathrm{~A}][2 \mathrm{~B}][\mathrm{C}]^2 \\ & \frac{\mathrm{r}_{\text {new }}}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{\mathrm{k}[2 \mathrm{~A}][2 \mathrm{~B}][\mathrm{C}]^2}{\mathrm{k}[\mathrm{A}][\mathrm{B}][\mathrm{C}]^2} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{r}_{\text {new }}}{\mathrm{r}}=2 \times 2, \mathrm{r}_{\text {new }}=4 \mathrm{r}\end{aligned}$
