Answer:

The correct answer choice is A. A chemical change has occurred because new compounds have been produced.

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: photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to convert energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy in the form of glucose which is used a s a source of energy by many organisms.

Thus the true statement is a chemical change has occurred because new compounds have been produced.
