a) always true since matter cant be made/destroyed
b) not true since isotopes have diff no of neutrons so chemical structure is different therefore reactivity is different
c) not true since other atoms in inner rings can react too but valence leave/attach to atom first
d) new elements are not formed. new products (compounds) are formed

so the answer is A
