Which statement is true? a. Kinetic energy becomes potential energy in chemical reactions.
b. Energy can be created or destroyed, but matter cannot.
c. Matter and energy are conserved in chemical reactions.
d. Matter can be created or destroyed, but energy cannot.

c. Matter and energy are conserved in chemical reactions.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of matter, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

For every chemical reaction, the law of conservation of energy is applicable which states that the energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.  It can be transformed from one form to another.

*tilts head* sounds more like a statement
