What is the relationship between whether a molecule is oxidized or reduced and the amount of energy contained in its bonds?

a) Oxidized molecules have higher bond energy, while reduced molecules have lower bond energy.
b) Oxidized molecules have lower bond energy, while reduced molecules have higher bond energy.
c) The oxidation state of a molecule does not affect the energy content of its bonds.
d) Both oxidized and reduced molecules have the same amount of energy in their bonds.
