Step-by-step explanation:
The student is trying to match string member function names with their correct descriptions in a programming context, likely within the scope of Python or a similar language. Here's the correct matching:

- split: Separate a string into a list of parts.
- upper: Only changes uppercase characters in a string.
- change: Not a real string member function.
