According to the Law of Conservation of Matter, the correct response is:
Atoms can be rearranged during a chemical reaction but cannot be added or taken away.
This principle states that in a closed system, the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products, meaning that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions, only rearranged.
