Activation energy is the term coined by the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius on 1889. The term is used to refer or describe the minimum energy which must be available for the system of chemicals to have a chemical reaction. Hence, the answer to the question is letter "C. It is the energy required to break existing chemical bonds".
