Solution

The correct option is B Melting of ice
Chemical change brings change in the chemical properties of matter and new substances are produced.
Melting of ice is not a chemical change because it involves the conversion of solid form of water into the liquid form but the chemical composition of water, i.e., $H_{2} O$ remains the same.
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
