Answer:

D. Exothermic, because energy is being absorbed from the surroundings

Step-by-step explanation:

This is true about the Exothemic reaction due to the fact that, the reaction occurs outside the body. During this reaction, the energy being absorbed from the surrounding environment will hit the body surface thereby creating the coldness due to the heat given out from the body being minimal.
