Although objects can go through physical and chemical changes, the amount of matter in those objects remains the same. This is known as the Law of Conservation of Matter. Matter can be broken into smaller pieces, dissolve in liquids, change physical states, and undergo other changes while still conserving its mass.

The pairs of statements that demonstrate the Law of Conservation of Matter are:

B. A snowman: The melted remains of the same snowman
C. A lump of clay: The same lump broken into three pieces
D. 1 cup of water and one gram of salt, separated: The same cup of water with two grams of salt mixed in
F. One apple: The same apple cut into slices

These examples show that even though the state or form of the matter has changed, the total mass remains the same.

(Note: You only asked for 3 correct answers; therefore, you can select any three from the above options based on your preference. For instance, if you don't need option D, you could go with A or F instead.)
