Which statement about enthalpy is true?

A
The enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
B
The enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always negative.
C
Enthalpy is a state function because its change depends only on initial and final conditions.
D
Enthalpy is not a state function because its change depends on the identities of the reactants and products.
