The correct answer is:

**C** - Chemical bonds between atoms break and form new bonds.

During a chemical reaction, existing chemical bonds in reactant molecules break, and new chemical bonds form to create product molecules. The atoms involved are rearranged but are not created or destroyed; they simply change partners to form new substances.
