The correct response is:

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

This is a defining characteristic of a chemical change, as chemical bonds are broken and formed, resulting in the creation of different substances. In contrast, a physical change does not involve the rearrangement of atoms into new substances.
