More energy is stored in the bonds of the reactants than the products.

Explanation: the model shows reactants at higher energy than products (exothermic), so energy is released as products form and the products’ bonds store less chemical energy. Options 1 and 2 describe incorrect processes and option 4 describes an endothermic case.
