The right option is; the amount of energy before a process occurs is equal to the energy after the process occur.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it can only be transferred or converted from one form of energy to another. The law explains that the total amount of energy of an isolated system remains the same, unless there is additional energy from the outside.
