Explanation:

• Physical change: No new substance is formed. Only the state or appearance changes.
• Chemical change: A new substance is formed.
• Changing water from liquid to gas (evaporation) or from liquid to solid (freezing) only changes the state of water. No new substance is formed. So, it is a physical change.
• Frying an egg and grilling a fish involve chemical reactions (new substances are formed due to heat - induced changes in proteins etc.).

Answer:

Changing water from liquid to solid is an example of a physical change.
