Answer 2

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, etc of a substance are all physical properties.

And, a property that changes chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical property.

For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement water is a generally unreactive compound, describes a chemical property of water.
