Answer:

D. Energy is absorbed in an endothermic reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

In all cases, an endothermic reaction is one in which is absorbed from the surroundings for the reaction to take place. After the reaction, the surrounding becomes colder as heat is drawn from it to furnish the reaction.

It is in an exothermic reaction that heat is liberated to the surroundings and this makes the surrounding hotter at the end of the reaction.

In some reactions, when bonds are broken, they can release energy and they can also absorb energy.
