Solution

The correct option is B (ii), (iii) and (v) only
Dissolving of sodium hydroxide in water, dilution of sulphuric acid and combustion of methane gas are exothermic reactions in which a large amount of heat is released.

Reactions in which heat is released along with the formation of products are called exothermic reaction.

Evaporation of water and dissolving of ammonium chloride in water are endothermic reactions in which heat is absorbed.
