Answer:

Chemical change

Step-by-step explanation:

Burning paper is a chemical change.

Burning (or combustion ) is a high temperature chemical reaction that takes place between fuel and an oxidant(mostly oxygen)

Research has proved has taught us that ;

When paper is burned , the oxygen (from the air) combines with carbon and hydrogen in the paper turning some of it into carbon dioxide and water vapor, which waft away with carbon particulates in the smoke

I hope it helps :)
