The change that could indicate that the liquids are chemically reacting is the temperature of the container rises.

A temperature increase suggests an exothermic reaction, indicating that chemical bonds are being formed or broken during the reaction. The other options either suggest a physical change (such as forming layers or mixing) or no change, which are not definitive indicators of a chemical reaction.
