Answer:

A- Physical, B- Chemical, C- chemical, D- Physical

Step-by-step explanation:

A is physical because you can see it changing its form is changing.

B is Chemical because a new substance is formed creating the orange color of rust.

C is a Chemical reaction because it is being broken down so the banana itself is changing not just how we see it.

D is physical because we are just changing the shape/ size of the item, not anything to do with its substances.
