B, adsorption is the use of porous activated carbon, which can adsorb impurities, pigments and other substances on the surface without producing new substances, which belongs to physical changes;
C, filtration is a method of separating solid and liquid insoluble in liquid, but the mixture is separated and no new substance is generated, which belongs to physical change;
D, taking water changes the position of water, and no new substances are generated, which is a physical change.
As can be seen from the above analysis, only disinfection belongs to chemical changes, and others belong to physical changes, so we choose A.
