Vapor is another physical state of water. Water can be obtained from the  condensation of vapor. This is a physical and reversible change.

Magnesium ribbon burns with dazzling light in air and forms magnesium oxide.
$2Mg+O _2\rightarrow 2MgO$.
The above change is a chemical changes as new substance is  formed after change. Original
substances cannot be retrieved by simple physical processes.So it is chemical change.
Hence option A is correct.

A chemical change is the process in which chemical composition of the substance is changed,and physical composition may or may not changed burning of coal that is carbon(C) in presence of oxygen gives a different chemical substance $CO _2$. So, it is a chemical change. Hence option A is correct.

In melting of wax, only the physical state of the wax changes from solid to liquid. Solid wax can be obtained from molten wax. Molten wax can be again converted to solid wax. This is an example of physical and reversible change. Hence, option A is correct.

Melting of wax is a physical change. In a burning candle there are both physical and chemical changes. The burning of the solid wax to form liquid wax and the evaporation of liquid wax to form wax vapour are physical changes. The burning of wax vapour is a physical change.

All of the following represents a physical change.
Stretched rubber band.
Melting of ice cream.
In winter, hair oil freezes.

When a metal rod is heated, it expands. During expansion, the length of metal rod increases.
