The correct answer is "faced" because we have the preposition "with" in your sentence. We could also say "... when facing change" (without the preposition) and it would mean exactly the same thing.

1. ...when you are FACED with change. (Good)
2. ...when you are FACING with change. (Bad)
Therefore, the only correct answer would be "faced."
*****
You can say, "The world is facing many changes."
But NOT: "The world is facing WITH many changes."
