What is an example of a qualitative property?

  1. Temperature

  2. Mass

  3. Color

  4. Volume

The correct answer is: Color

Qualitative properties are those that can be observed and described without the use of numerical measurements. These properties are often subjective and can vary depending on the individual's perception. In this case, color is a qualitative property because it can be described using words, such as red, blue, or yellow, without the need for exact measurements. Options A, B, and D are all examples of quantitative properties because they can be measured and expressed using numerical values. However, the lack of context provided in this question may make it difficult to accurately determine which type of property is being requested.
