The correct response is:

Atoms of one or more substances rearrange into a new substance.

This is a characteristic of a chemical change, as it involves the formation of new substances through the rearrangement of atoms. In contrast, physical changes do not involve such rearrangements and the substance remains the same, even if its appearance or state changes.
