The response that demonstrates a chemical change is:

iron (Fe) reacting to water (H2O) and oxygen (O) to form iron oxide (Fe2O3)

This process involves a chemical reaction where the iron reacts with water and oxygen to form a new substance, iron oxide (rust). The other options describe physical changes.
