Solution

The correct option is B chemical change
Formation of manure from leaves is a chemical change as a new substance (manure) is formed. The product (manure) has different chemical properties than the original substance (leaves). Thus, it is a chemical change. Leaves cannot be obtained back from manure, thus it is an irreversible change.
