Solution

The correct option is A Chemical combination
The changing of colour of a substance is not necessarily an indicator of a chemical change. For example changing the colour of a metal does not change its physical properties. However in a chemical reaction, a color change is usually an indicator that a reaction is occuring.
The four signs that a chemical reaction has occured are:
  • A change in colour
  • A change in temperature
  • formation of a gas
  • formation of a precipitate.
