    Solution:

    The above statement is false.
    Ice melting is a physical change reversible because the melted ice cubes are refrozen. However, heat is required to process a natural action from a solid to a liquid (melting ice). That needs exposure of the solid to an environment whose temperature is more significant than the solid. Generally, heat transfer over a limited temperature difference is irreversible. However, that needs exposure of the solid to an environment whose temperature is larger than the solid.
    The corrected statement would be, “The melting of ice is an example of physical change which is reversible”.
