Which scenario would adhere to the law of conservation of energy?

The law of conservation of energy says energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred or changed from one form to another. When atoms are rearranged in a chemical reaction, energy may be transferred between the reacting substances and their surroundings. So “Energy is transferred when atoms are rearranged” is the correct scenario. Freezing water and burning sugar do not create or destroy energy.
