Answer:

B) Heat is given off.

Step-by-step explanation:

When heat is given off, a chemical change must have occurred and such a reaction is termed an exothermic reaction.

A chemical change is one in which;

  • the process is not easily reversible
  • leads to the production of new kinds of matter
  • involves change in mass
  • requires a considerable amount of energy.

Most chemical reactions are accompanied by heat changes.
