Answer:

The correct aswer is crystal size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cooling rate affects to the size of the crystal formed by cooling a molten material. A fast cooling produces small crystals whereas slow cooling produces large crystals. At a slow cooling rate, crystals have more time to grow and therefore they are larger than those are formed at a fast cooling rate.
