Solution

The correct option is A both physical change
Dissolution of copper sulphate powder in water in the presence of sulphuric acid is a physical change. On cooling this hot solution, crystals of copper sulphate separate, which is also a physical change. As there is no change in the chemical composition of copper sulphate, only a change in its physical state.
