The correct answer is Melting of ice.

A physical change alters the form or appearance of a substance but not its chemical composition. It is often reversible. A chemical change results in the formation of new substances with different chemical properties.

Melting of ice is a change of state from solid water (ice) to liquid water. The chemical formula remains H₂O. This process is reversible (freezing). Flowering, clotting of blood, and cooking of food involve chemical reactions and the formation of new substances.
