Solution

The correct option is A
Physical change

Smelling lion or any visit to the vicinity of lion cage giving off awful smell is not due to any chemical change. Body odor though is due to big organic molecules acted upon by bacteria but the odor itself is not a chemical change.

It is not considered a chemical change.
