Solution

The correct option is A

True


When we burn a candle, wax melts and hence the physical state of wax changes from solid to liquid. As the wax burns to produce flame, it combines with the atmospheric oxygen and changes to carbon dioxide, heat and light. Hence, both the statements are correct.
