Answer;

B) B

Explanation;

  • Activation energy is the least possible amount of energy which is required to start a reaction or the amount of energy available in a chemical system for a reaction to take place.
  • A reaction won’t occur unless atoms or molecules of reactants come together. This happens only if the particles are moving, and movement takes energy. Reactants have to overcome forces that push them apart. The energy is called activation energy.
