Solution

The correct option is B Physical change
Iron is magnetic at room temperature, but at 770 degrees Celsius iron loses its magnetism. However this change is temporary, hence it is an example of physical change.

and the change in color is a physical change because it is easily reversible without affecting the chemical nature of it.
