Either A or B

None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cutting, tearing, shattering, grinding, and mixing are further types of physical changes because they change the form but not the composition of a material. For example, mixing salt and pepper creates a new substance without changing the chemical makeup of either component.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of physical changes include melting ice, crushing gravel, grinding pepper, and boiling water. No new substances are formed as a result of these changes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dissolving and mixing: Simple forms of dissolving and mixing are considered physical changes, but mixing the ingredients of a cake is not a simple mixing process. A chemical change starts to occur when the ingredients are mixed, forming new substances.
