Extensive property of a system
Options

Correct Answer
B Does not depend on the mass of the system
C Regulates the system
D All of the above
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

An extensive property is a physical quantity whose value is proportional to the size or extent of the system. Examples include mass, volume, and total energy. These properties depend on the amount of matter present. In contrast, intensive properties (like temperature and pressure) do not depend on system size.

Hint

Extensive properties change when you add more material to the system.
