If the chemical composition of a rock is changed, the rock has experienced chemical weathering the rock has become igneous the rock did not contain minerals the rock is deep inside the earth
Well being that igneous means (of rock) having solidified from lava or magma (aka a physical change) we know we can eliminate B.
Now C does not mention change at all this can be eliminated.
D also fails to mention any type of change it can be eliminated.
This leaves only one answer, however we can also find the answer by observing what chemical weathing is.
Chemical weathering is the weakening and subsequent disintegration of rock by chemical reactions. These reactions include oxidation, hydrolysis, and carbonation. These processes either form or destroy minerals, thus altering the nature of the rock's mineral composition.
If this helped please best response/medal me. If you would like to mention me for further help in the future, feel free to fan me. -luger
