The correct response is: Mass is conserved.

In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants is equal to the total mass of the products, which means that mass is conserved. The other statements are not accurate as they imply changes that do not occur during a chemical reaction (original substances changing their properties or atoms being created or lost).
