The statement is describing physical properties of the metal, chemical properties are properties that can only be observed when the matter undergoes a change that changes the chemical makeup, such as flammability, ability to tarnish/rust, and reactivity, whereas physical properties can be observed without a chemical reaction, such as melting point, magnetism, and appearance

Answer:

The correct answers are options C, that is, silver tarnishes and becomes black when exposed to oxygen, and option E, that is, diesel fuel burns when it is heated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical changes refer to the modifications in which the chemistry at molecular level is modified as the initial substance gets transformed into a new and different final substance. This change occurs with the dissociation of old bond and production of new bonds respectively.

I hope this helps. :).
