Solution

The correct option is B Physical change
Almost all the substances we know undergo a change. Playing with clay is a physical change. This is because, when it is moulded into a caterpillar, there is no new substance formed as the chemical composition of caterpillar is same as that of the clay. There is a change only in the physical properties such as shape and size.
