The correct response is:
it shows that no atoms have been gained or lost during the reaction.
This response correctly reflects the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products, meaning that atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
