Answer:

Volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Intensive properties do not depend on the mass of the matter whereas extensive properties do depend on the mass of the matter. Mass and volume are examples of extensive. Hence option D is correct.

Options A, B and C are incorrect as magnetism, boiling point and thermal conductivity are all intensive properties.
