How does the potential-energy diagram for a reaction indicate whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic?

A
An endothermic reaction has reactants that are lower in energy than products because energy is absorbed to form the products.
B
An endothermic reaction has reactants that are higher in energy than products because energy is released to form the products.
C
An exothermic reaction has reactants that are lower in energy than products because energy is released to form the products.
D
An exothermic reaction has reactants that are higher in energy than products because energy is absorbed to form the products.
