Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Physical Modifications: Candle wax melts when heated. Because after cooling, it solidifies once more into the wax. Therefore, wax melting and wax vaporization are physical changes.
Chemical Changes: When the wax is near a flame, it burns, releasing new gases like carbon dioxide and soot as well as heat and light.
Thus, both the changes are accompanied by the burning of the candle.
