Answer

See below

Work Step by Step

An example of a square matrix $A=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 \\ 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$ Obtain: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 \\ 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \approx \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 0\\ 4 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\\ \rightarrow Colspace(A)=(3,4)$ Let permute the rows of $A$ we have: $\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 3 \\ 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}\approx\begin{bmatrix} 4& 0 \\ 3 & 0 \end{bmatrix}\\ \rightarrow Colspace(A)=(4,3)$ Hence, we can see that each type of elementary row operation applied to a matrix can change the column space of the matrix.
