Sugar dissolving in warm water.
Explanation: Dissolving is a physical change because the sugar’s chemical identity (sucrose) stays the same and the process is generally reversible (you can recover the sugar by evaporating the water). The other options produce new substances (iron oxide, combustion products, CO2 and salts), so they are chemical changes.
