Ice melts to form water. And water freezes to form ice. Choose the TRUE statement about these changes.
A. Both melting and freezing are physical changes.
B. Both melting and freezing are chemical changes.
C. Melting is a physical change while freezing is a chemical change.
D. Melting is a chemical change while freezing is a physical change.

Option A) Both melting and freezing are physical changes.

Explanation:

A physical change is one which is easily reversible and in which no new substances are formed.

Hence, since ice melts to form water (melting), and water freezes to form ice back (freezing), both melting and freezing are easily reversible and do not form new products.

Thus, both melting and freezing are physical changes.
