Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A

Only breaking of bonds

B

A chemical reaction involves both breaking and formation of bonds. Often it is also accompanied by the absorption or release of energy. The atoms of the reactants just recombine in a chemical reaction, thus, leading to the restructuring of bonds.
