Answer:

The correct answer is option  a. "from A to B; mostly B; insufficient information is given to predict the rate of the reaction".

Explanation:

A large negative ΔG means that the reaction A → B is thermodynamically favorable and it will occur spontaneously in normal conditions. Therefore, the reaction would proceed from A to B and at equilibrium mostly B would be present. However, a large negative  ΔG value is not enough to predict the rate of reaction. Further information is needed before the rate of the reaction A → B could be defined.
