Question

tearing a magazine page is an example of
a combustion.
b compression.
c a physical change.
d a chemical change.

Explanation:

Tearing a magazine page only changes its size/shape, not its chemical composition. Physical changes alter form without new substances; chemical changes create new substances. Combustion (burning) is chemical, compression is force application, so tearing is physical.

Answer:

C. a physical change.
