A Reaction Requires a Sample to Be Heated Using a Water

A reaction requires a sample to be heated using a water bath near boiling temperature. Which statement below would be accurate?

A) Boiling water is an endothermic process and to break apart the intermolecular forces that hold together the water molecules requires -40.7 kJ of energy.
B) Boiling water is an exothermic process and to break apart the intermolecular forces that hold together the water molecules requires +40.7 kJ of energy.
C) Boiling water is an endothermic process and to break apart the intermolecular forces that hold together the water molecules requires +40.7 kJ of energy.
