D. All of the statements are true.
The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction; therefore, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products (A). Additionally, chemical equations must be balanced to ensure that the same number of atoms of each element are present on both sides of the equation (B). Furthermore, during a chemical reaction, atoms are rearranged to form new compounds, but the total number of atoms of each element remains the same (C). Since all these statements are true, option D is correct.
