Answer: D.neither physically nor chemically changed.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Example: Melting of ice

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.

Example: Corrosion of iron

As the inside of the nail was still shiny and in same phase, that means it has not undergone any physical or chemical change.
