    Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    According to law of conservation of mass, in an isolated system mass cannot be created or destroyed as it can be transformed from one form to another.

    For example, heating 32 g of S and 56 g of Fe to produce 88 g of FeS and unused reactants.

    So, total mass of reactants is 32 g + 56 g = 88 g. And, total mass of product formed is also 88 g.

    Therefore, mass is neither destroyed nor created as it simply transformed from one from form to another.

    Thus, we can conclude that heating 32 g of S and 56 g of Fe to produce 88 g of FeS and unused reactants, best illustrates the law of conservation of mass.
