Answer: Molecules of gas are usually far apart and can be compressed unlike molecules of liquids.
Explanation:
The molecules of gases are usually far apart, moving freely and randomly, occupying extra space in the containing vessel. Hence, when compressed to become closely packed, gases have lower volume.
However, unlike gases, the molecules of a liquid are restricted, move less freely and occupy no extra space. Hence, liquids cannot be compressed, and their volume remains the same in their containing vessel.

C. Energy is released by the reaction
Explanation:-
An exothermic reaction is one in which during the progress of the reaction heat is evolved.
So energy is released by the reaction.
It cannot be created as energy is neither created nor destroyed as per the Law of conservation of energy. Energy is not transferred either.
The energy released during the progress of the reaction originates from the chemical bonds of the reactants as they break during their conversion into products.
Hey there! :D
Look at the word hydrolysis. Hydro= water Lysis = split. (Root words)
So, water (in terms of the word) is added to help split and breakdown macromolecules.
I hope this helps!
