Answer: The correct answer is: " endothermic . "
______________________________________
<u>Note</u>: Heat flows <u> into </u> [heat <u> may be </u> absorbed within] an "<u>endothermic</u>" reaction or system
To the contrary, heat flows <u> </u><u>out </u> [heat <u> may </u><em> </em>exit from or <u> may be </u> released from] an "<u>exothermic</u>" reaction or process.
<u>Hint</u>: Think of the "prefixes" of: "<u>endo</u>thermic" and "<u>exo</u>thermic" :
_____________________________________
1) endo- = "within" (as in "endothermic" —heat tends to be absorbed/"within"/"released within"/released within"/into" ;
2) exo- = " outwards"/"exit" (as in "exothermic") —heat tends to '"exit"/leave/escape from/"be released out of/form".
