The correct response is:
it shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during the reaction
This response clearly demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that in a closed system, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products, indicating that atoms are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. A balanced chemical equation reflects this principle by ensuring that the number of each type of atom is the same on both sides of the equation.
