Answer:

Slicing of an apple is a physical change

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason being that, when you slice an apple, it is still that same apple, the only thing you will notice is the change is its size as compared to how it was initially. The apple will still be apple because it has not changed to any other form. When you fried an egg, the egg will undergo some combustion reactions and combustion reaction is a chemical Change and looking at it physically, the egg has transformed to another thing compared to how I was initially.
