Answer 1

B. A dish of water is placed in the freezer and turns solid

it is a physical change because it can return to its original state by physical means. the other options are chemical changes because things like color change, bubbles or fizzing, and odor change all indicate a chemical change and cannot return to the original state it was in before.
