Your answer is: exothermic. We can figure this out by breaking up the word: Exo=out and Thermic=heat (type of energy). Meaning heat energy is being released, meaning your answer is exothermic.

The correct answer is D. Exothermic

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the features used to classify reactions is whether energy is released or absorbed during them. In this way, when the reaction causes energy to be absorbed this is classified as endothermic; an example of this is when an ice cube melts because it absorbs heat from the environment. On the other hand, if energy is released, the reaction is exothermic; for example, fire releases heat, and therefore this reaction is exothermic. According to this, it can be concluded not all reactions release energy but only exothermic reactions.
