Answer:
A) A large nail rusting

Step-by-step explanation:
A nail rusting is a chemical change because the iron has changed into a new substance. It is the iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) combining.

Chemical change:
When a chemical reaction occurs and a new substance is made.
E.g. Burning wood

Physical change:
When matter change form but not chemical identity.
E.g. Melting ice

Hope this helped you!
