D. what happens when light reflects from a shiny surface

Answer 1

B. what happens when iron rusts in the presence of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemistry is a branch of science involving the composition and changes of matter. In other words, a chemist, who is a trained specialist in the science of chemistry, seeks to answer questions related to properties of matter.

In this question, a chemist is most likely to study "what happens when iron rusts in the presence of water" because it involves a change in the chemical properties of a substance (iron) i.e. a chemical change. However, what happens when ice melts to liquid water is a physical change.
