Select the correct answer.

Why does every chemical reaction require a certain amount of activation energy?

O A

Energy is released when the reactants begin to react.

O B. Energy lost to the environment during the reaction must be replaced.

OC Forming the activated complex requires energy.

OD. The products have more potential energy than the activated complex.

O E.

The reactants have less potential energy than the products.
