Question

Which statement BEST explains whether or not matter is conserved in this chemical reaction? A Matter is being conserved because there is an equal number of atoms of each element in the reactants and products, and the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products. B Matter is not being conserved because there are more atoms of oxygen in the reactants than there are in the products, so there is also more mass in the reactants than there is in the products. C Matter is being conserved because carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are found in the reactants and in the products in different arrangements, and the mass of the reactants is equal to the mass of the products. D Matter is not being conserved because there are 11 units in the reactants, one C8H8 and 10 O2, and 12 units in the products, eight CO2 and four H2O, so there is also more mass in the products that in the reactants
