A diffusion controlled reaction takes place in a solvent whose viscosity can be manipulated by photo-induced cross-linking. This reaction taking place in the dark produces product at a rate that is 4 times the rate of the reaction taking place after a short exposure to light (but otherwise under the same conditions). What can we say about the viscosity of the solution following exposure to light?  a)The viscosity has doubled b)The viscosity has tripled c)The viscosity has quadrupled d)The viscosity has remained the same
