There are two types of changes: physical and chemical. If there is a chemical change, there is a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction, and a chemical change, causes a change in the composition of a substance. A, C, and D are all chemical reactions. Therefore, by process of elimination, the answer is B. This makes sense, as this is when a solid is turned into a gas, and changes in state are physical changes rather than chemical ones.
