Answer: C ) The reactants are higher in energy than the products

Step-by-step explanation:

The enthalpy that is a state variable that identifies the content of heat. Then the change of enthalpy for the exothermic reactions is negative, meaning that the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.
