Answer:

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation with the equal amount and proportion of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction is commonly referred to as a balanced chemical equation.

The law of conservation of matter asserts that no observable and empirical change in the amount of matter occurs within a conventional chemical process. As a result, each element in the product would have the same equal amount or numbers of atoms as the reactants.
