Solution

The correct option is B Chemical change
The burning of wood leads to the formation of new substances like ashes, carbon dioxide, water vapour, heat and light.
$W o o d + O_{2} ⟶ A s h e s + {C O}_{2} + H_{2} O$
(oxygen) (carbon (water)
dioxide)
$∴$ This change is irreversible hence it is a chemical change.
