The correct response that is always true according to the Law of Conservation of Matter is:

**Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away.**

This law states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system, meaning that the total number of atoms remains constant; they can only be rearranged to form new substances.
