Answer:

C

Explanation:

Think of 'exo' as exit and 'thermic' as relating to thermal energy/ heat. Thus, an exothermic release thermal energy as the reaction proceeds.

In an exothermic reaction, the total energy of the products is lesser than that of the reactants and ΔH (change in energy) is less than zero.

When heat is absorbed as the reaction proceeds, the chemical reaction is an endothermic reaction.
