Answer:

C. would be the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Burning gasoline is a chemical change because when gasoline is ignited, water and carbon dioxide are produced. Water freezing to form ice would be a physical change since its state of matter has changed, but not the water itself. Sugar dissolving in water is also a physical change because all it's really doing is just forming bubbles and changing the color. Choice D. would also be a physical change since the piece of metal is still a piece of metal, it just expanded when the temperature increased.
