Solution

The correct option is D Boiling of water​
A substance usually exist in three physical states: solid, liquid and gas.​
A can is initially in solid state. When it is crushed, its shape gets changed but the crushed can still remains in solid state.​
Glass is initially in solid state. When it is broken, it gets divided into smaller pieces but each of those glass pieces remain in solid state.​
Paper is initially in solid state. When it is torn into pieces, each paper piece remains in solid state.​
When water is boiled, it changes its state from liquid to gas. So, among the given options, a change in state is observed only in boiling of water.​
