Solution

The correct option is B Matter can change its state
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. The images show melting of butter and boiling of water. Matter can be classified as solid, liquid, gas or plasma. Melting of butter means butter (solid) getting converted into liquid form. Boiling of water means converting water into vapour form (gas). This shows that matter can change its state.
