Answer:

C--"Forming or breaking bonds"

Step-by-step explanation:

Going through the process of elimination I would cross out B and D due to we are not destroying the particle and i would not say A cause it is not the best description of the chemical reaction. The answer C would fit the best.

I hoped this helped! : )

The correct answer for this question is C - the best description of a chemical reaction from the answers offered here is that it consists of the forming and breaking of bonds between particles. There are not any atoms destroyed in a chemical reaction, so B and C are incorrect, and although mixing two substances together (as specified in A) could produce a chemical reaction, this is not the best way of describing the actual chemical process.
