The correct difference between first and second order reactions is that

A first-order reaction can catalyzed; a second-order reaction cannot be catalyzed
The half-life of a first-order reaction does not depend on $[A]_0$ ; the half-life of a second-order reaction does depend on $[A]_0$
The rate of a first-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations
The rate of a first-order reaction does depend on reactant concentrations; the rate of a second-order reaction does not depend on reactant concentrations
Explanation:

• For first order reaction, $t_{1/2}=\dfrac{0.693}{k},$ which is independent of initial concentration of reactant.
• For second order reaction, $t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A_0]},$ which depends on initial concentration of reactant.
