Solution
The correct option is A
physical
The change in which chemical properties of the original substance remains unchanged and no new substance is formed is called physical change.
Dissolution of sugar in water is a physical change because it does not result in the formation of a new substance. It is a reversible change as sugar and water can be extracted back from the solution.
