Answer:

Energy can be exchanged between the system and surroundings, but matter cannot.

Step-by-step explanation:

In thermodynamics a closed does not allow the exchange of matter but allows the exchange of energy. Thus option C is correct and option B is incorrect.

Open system allows both the transfer of mass and energy. Thus option A is incorrect.

Isolated system does not allow the transfer of mass nor energy. Option D is incorrect.
