In the context of the given reaction, saying that the reaction is exothermic means that the reaction releases energy as it occurs. However, this option is not among your responses.
From the options you provided, the most appropriate interpretation based on typical terminology would be:
It would occur without additional energy.
This is often true for exothermic reactions, as they tend to proceed spontaneously once initiated, since they release energy in the process.
