Solution

The correct options are
A physical change
D reversible change
A change in which physical properties of a substance like shape, size, state, etc changes is called a physical change. A physical change is generally reversible and there is no formation of a new substance.

Dissolution of sugar in water is a physical change because it does not result in the formation of a new substance. It is a reversible change as sugar and water can be extracted back from the solution by the process of crystallization followed by evaporation.
