C. The larger a molecule, the faster it will effuse.

Explanation:

The sentence C "The larger a molecule, the faster it will effuse" is false because, it is the exact opposite. When a molecule is bigger it takes longer to effuse because has more components that have to pass through that effect making it last longer tan short molecules.
