ice forming and then melting back into water

rust having a different identity than the iron it forms on
D
the irreversible reaction of vinegar and baking soda

Explanation

A physical change alters a substance’s form or state without making a new substance. Ice melting into water is a change of state, and both are still H₂O. Burning paper, forming rust, and reacting vinegar with baking soda involve chemical changes that produce new substances.
