Solution

The correct option is C Melting of wax
Reversible changes are those which can be undone.
$∙$ Freezing of water can be reversed by heating and melted wax can be obtained back by cooling. Therefore they are reversible in nature.
$∙$ We cannot get the paper or balloon back in their original state. Thus, these are irreversible changes.
