Solution

A chemical change occurs when there is a change in the chemical properties of the substance and a new substance is formed whereas a physical change occurs when there is a change in the physical properties of the substance and no new substance is formed.
When a flower turns into a fruit, a chemical change occurs and it is an irreversible change as we cannot get back the flower from the fruit.
Hence, a flower turning into a fruit cannot be a physical change because it is irreversible.
