By being a Mechanical Wave, which requires a material medium:

If the mixture cannot easily be separated then it would be called a compound.
Because the perfume is sprayed as a fine mist. This exposes a lot of its surface area to air, causing it to evaporate quickly. That makes us feel cooler.
<span>D. sugar changes from white to a light amber color
We're looking for a chemical change. So let's examine the options and see what happening with them.
A. adding cream and milk to the mixture
She's just making a mixture here. No unexpected reactions or changes happen as she adds the cream and milk. So this is the wrong answer.
B. mixing the sugar with water

C. melting the sugar
Just starting a simple phase change. Once again, no the right answer.
D. sugar changes from white to a light amber color
She's melted the sugar and has a clear fluid. As she continued to heat this fluid, it suddenly turns light amber. She has made a permanent change to the substance that she can't undo by simply physical means. She has converted part of the sugar into caramel. So a chemical change has happened here.</span>
