The situation in which the reactive force between two colliding objects causes a physical change is:

a baseball player swinging a bat and hitting a baseball, causing the bat to shatter.

In this case, the force exerted on the bat by the baseball (and vice versa) results in a physical change to the bat, as it shatters upon impact.
