Answer:

B- The teeth grind food into smaller pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

A physical change is a type of change in which the form of matter or substance is altered but not its chemical composition. The size or shape of matter may be changed, but no chemical reaction occurs. Physical changes are majorly a reversible process. The teeth grinding food into smaller pieces affects the size and shape not the chemical composition of the food.
