Detailed Solution

Exothermic reaction is the chemical reaction in which energy is released.

Here, ΔH (enthalpy) = product energy - reactant energy

The value of (product energy -reactant energy) <0.

So, the chemical energy of H2(g) and O2(g) are high and it is higher than water.

Therefore, option (A) is correct.
