The answer would be B.) due to the fact that it is only changing the physical state of the substances and not changing the makeup .

Answer: B) physical changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

A physical change is defined as a change in which there is alteration in shape, size and state etc. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

A chemical change is defined as a change in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

A nuclear change is defined as a change in which a change in nuclear composition takes place.

Melting wax, evaporating gasoline and freezing water are all physical changes as they only involve change of state and no change in chemical or nuclear composition takes place.
