A mixture undergoing multicomponent diffusion is analyzed through the Maxwell-Stefan approach. With regard to this approach which among the following statements are incorrect? The difference in the partial pressure of the Component A over a small distance ∆z (AB)is proportional to

(a) The molar concentration at the two points

(b) Length of the diffusion path

(c) Velocity at the point A

(d) Difference in the velocities at point A and B

The question was asked during a job interview.

My doubt stems from Multicomponent Diffusion topic in section Diffusion in Solids and Molecular Diffusion in Fluids of Mass Transfer
