Answer:

The correct answer is a"

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Exothermic reactions are those that release heat and endothermic reactions are those that consume heat.

a) A + B ⇒ AB + heat

It indicates that heat is released by what is an exothermic reaction.

b) A + BΔ ⇒ AB Heat is added to the reaction so it is endothermic

c) heat + BC ⇒ B + C

It is an endothermic reaction because heat is consumed in the reaction.

d) B + heat + CD ⇒ BD + C

It is an endothermic reaction since it consumes heat

The correct answer is a"
