Based on the above description of transpiration and photosynthesis, which type of change happens to water during each process?

A
In transpiration, because its physical properties change, water undergoes a physical change and loses its identity. In photosynthesis, because it keeps its identity, water undergoes a chemical change.
B
In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a physical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a chemical change.
C
In transpiration, because some of its properties change, water undergoes a chemical change but keeps its identity. In photosynthesis, because its identity changes, water undergoes a physical change.
D
In transpiration, because its chemical properties change, water undergoes a chemical change and loses its identity. In photosynthesis, because it keeps its identity, water undergoes a physical change.

If the substance is a liquid, a change of some of the liquid to gaseous form would indicate a chemical change.
C
If the substance is a liquid or solid, production of an odor would indicate a chemical change.
