Answer:

c. Can't decide with information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical and physical processes can be classified as endothermic or exothermic. The first one happens when the system absorbs heat, so the temperature of the surroundings will decrease, and the other one happens when the system releases heat, then the temperature of the surrounds will increase.

Precipitation is the formation of a solid in a solution. The process can happen with absorption or release of heat, it depends on the substance. So, with the information given it's impossible to say it.
