Chemical changes and physical changes are primarily differentiated by the formation of new substances. Here are the distinctions:

- **Chemical Changes**: These changes result in the formation of new substances with different properties from the original substances. An example includes the rusting of iron or the combustion of wood.

- **Physical Changes**: These changes do not alter the chemical composition of the substance. Instead, they may involve changes in physical state (like melting or freezing) or appearance (like breaking a glass).

Among the provided responses, the correct distinction is: **They form new substances.**
