Answer:

D. The reaction absorbs energy from its surroundings.

Explanation:

Cold packs have an endothermic chemical reaction. In an endothermic reaction energy is absorbed by the system from the surrounding. Exothermic reaction releases energy from the system into the surrounding.  If a pack had a chemical reaction such that the reaction released energy into surrounding then it would be a hot pack.
