Solution

The correct options are
A
Change in colour

B
Change in chemical composition

C
Change in shape

D
Change in physical state

When granulated sugar is heated, it starts to melt (change in physical state from solid into liquid and change in shape). As it melts its colour start to change from white to golden brown and further to dark brown. Moreover, the chemical composition is also changed because on heating sugar combines with the oxygen present in air to form new compounds.

Curiosity to know more:- The process in which sugar acquires a brownish hue on heating is called caramelization.

Q. Matter undergoes a change. The changes are of two types : Physical and chemical change. A physical change is a change that involves only a change in the physical state of matter.
Its chemical properties remain the same. Usually increasing the temperature of applying pressure or both brings about a physical change. On reversing the condition, i.e., reducing the temperature or reducing the pressure or both, the original state of matter is restored. In other words, physical changes are reversible. A chemical change is a change that involves a change in the chemical composition of matter. A new substance is formed. In a chemical change, the chemical and physical properties of the substance is formed. In a chemical change, the chemical and physical properties of the substance formed will be different from the original substance. When zinc carbonate is heated and cooled, the change(s) that are observed are :
