Answer»

Right answer is (b) exothermic

Explanation: Energy can neither be created nor be DESTROYED. It is only transduced from one form into another. Heat is also a form of energy; REACTIONS in which heat is lost to the surroundings are termed as exothermic reactions and those in which heat is gained from the system are termed as ENDOTHERMIC reactions.
