The correct option is B

Product


The explanation for the correct option:

Chemical reactions: A chemical reaction is in which the bonds are broken within reactant molecules, and new bonds are formed within product molecules in order to form a new substance.

  • An example of a chemical reaction is the reaction of Magnesium(Mg) with Oxygen(O2) results in the formation of Magnesium oxide(MgO)
  • 2Mg(s)Magnesium+O2(g)Oxygen2MgO(s)Magnesiumoxide

(B) Product: The substance which is formed in a chemical reaction is called the product.

  • In the above reaction, Magnesium oxide(MgO) is the product.

The explanation for the incorrect option:

(A) Reactant: The substance which takes part in a chemical reaction is called a reactant.

  • In above reaction, Magnesium(Mg) with Oxygen(O2) are reactant.

(C)Equation: Chemical equations are symbolic representations of chemical reactions in which the reactants and the products are expressed in terms of their respective chemical formulae.

  • Example, 2Mg(s)Magnesium+O2(g)Oxygen2MgO(s)Magnesiumoxide

Therefore, option(B) is correct option.
