D. The electrochemical reaction of the battery must be reversible.
Explanation:
The batteries are based on the production of an electric flux given by a<u> redox reaction</u>. This reaction is <u>spontaneous</u> and is<u> thermodynamically favored</u>.
Thus, when the reactants to the reaction are finished, the flow of current stops and ends. Therefore, when current is administered from another source, the reaction <u>changes its direction</u> and reagents that were previously consumed begin to occur. Therefore the condition for it to be <u>rechargeable</u> is that the reaction can go <u>forward or backward</u>, that is, it is <u>reversible</u>.
Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pulls on the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.
