Answer:

If a decrease in temperature accompanies a reaction, Energy was absorbed.

So the forth option is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • If decrease in temperature occurs during a reaction, it indicates that the reaction is endothermic reaction.
  • Endothermic process describes the process or reaction in which the system absorbs energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat.
  • So energy in form of heat is absorbed.
