Energy is absorbed:

Correct answer: D. Both A and B

  • A. In bond breaking
  • B. In endothermic reactions
  • C. In bond formation
  • D. Both A and B

Explanation

The correct answer is "Both A and B." Both bond breaking and endothermic reactions involve the absorption of energy from the surroundings. Bond breaking requires energy to break existing bonds, and endothermic reactions absorb energy to convert reactants into products with higher potential energy.
