    Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

    Explanation:

    Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy is absorbed by the system. The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be positive.

    Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy is released by the system. The total enthalpy of the reaction comes out to be negative.

    Cooking is a type of endothermic reaction because in this process, energy is given to the uncooked food continuously. Energy is getting absorbed by the food for the chemical reactions to take place.

    Thus, the correct answer is Option B.
