Atomic mass unit is the standard unit that is used for indicating mass on an atomic or molecular scale
Oxidation reaction
In ---> In³⁺ + 3e ---1)
reduction reaction
Cd²⁺ + 2e ---> Cd ---2)
when balancing the reactions, electrons have to be balanced. to balance the electrons multiple 1st reaction by 2 and 2nd reaction by 3
1) x 2
2) x 3
2In ---> 2In³⁺ + 6e
3Cd²⁺ + 6e ---> 3Cd
add the 2 equations to obtain the overall reaction
2In + 3Cd²⁺ ---> 2In³⁺ + 3Cd
The total charge on an atom comes from protons and electrons.
The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged. A neutral atom would have an equal number of protons and electrons.
An atom with more protons than electrons will be positively charged while those with more electrons than protons will be negatively charged.

I would say the answer is C
hope this helps :)
Answer:
D) There must be equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.
Explanation:
The balancing equation must have equal number of atoms of each elements on both sides of equation.
The balance equation shoes mass is conserved thus followed the law of conservation of mas.
Law of conservation of mass:
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
Explanation:
This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
For example:
In given photosynthesis reaction:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
