That would be C.
A is not true, because molecular equations sometimes describe mechanisms; also, it may not be completely clear from the wording what happens.
B is clearly false; an equation in German may be useless to someone from Mexico, for example.
D is false as well. Word equations cannot be balanced like chemical equations can.
That leaves C.
