The physical changes among the options provided are:

  • melting chocolate (phase change from solid to liquid)
  • cutting wood (change in size and shape, but the wood's chemical composition remains the same)

The other two options, burning butter and souring milk, are chemical changes because they involve a change in the chemical composition of the substances.
