Answer: D: Mass and volume

Explanation: The two defining characteristics of matter is that it has a given mass and a given volume (so matter ocuppies a place in the space)

Where something with zero volume can not have mass. And things with no mass, like photons, are not matter.

So the correct answer will be option D: Mass and volume
