Solution

The correct option is A

burning of candle


Burning of a candle involves both physical and chemical changes. During burning, the wax melts. Here, the wax has changed from solid to liquid. This is a physical change. The wax near flame burns and gives new substances like carbon dioxide, carbon soot, water vapour, heat and light. This is a chemical change.

Hence, option a is correct.
