Solution

The correct options are
C Change in state.
D It is a physical change.
Heating of water is a reversible change. When water is heated, it gets converted from its liquid state to its gaseous state and becomes water vapour. However, there are no new substances formed during this change and is hence a physical change. When water is heated at $100^{o} C$ , it starts boiling.
