Solution

The correct option is A True

Physical change:

  • A change that alters some specific property of matter without any change in the composition of its molecules is called a physical change.
  • No new substances are formed during physical change.
  • Physical changes can be generally reversed.
  • There is no change in weight during physical change.
  • Only a little heat is absorbed or given off during a physical change.

So, glass breaking is a physical change since no new material is generated once the glass breaks; just the size of the glass changes.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
