Answer

Brief Explanations:

A physical change is one where the substance's chemical composition remains the same. Dissolving metal in HCl is a chemical reaction as new substances are formed. Burning a match and electrolysis of water also involve chemical reactions with new - substance formation. Shattering a glass bottle only changes the physical state (shape) of the glass, not its chemical composition.

Answer:

B. Shattering a glass bottle of hydrochloric acid, HCl
