Solution

Hess's law states that the total enthalpy change of a chemical reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions, meaning it is independent of the path taken. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The enthalpy of a reaction is the sum of the enthalpies of intermediate reactions.
