Answer: Option (C) is the chemical reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction which leads to the formation of a new compound or substance due to exchange of valence electrons of the reactants.

For example,
2Na + Cl_(2) \rightarrow 2NaCl

Here, sodium donates its one valence electron to a chlorine atom in order to become stable. Therefore, an ionic bond is formed and a new compound NaCl is formed as a result of this chemical reaction.

Whereas number of atoms and elements involved in a chemical reaction remains the same.

Thus, we can conclude that the chemical bonds between atoms is altered during a chemical reaction.
