Answer:

The correct answer would be the smell.

Physical properties refer to the properties which measured or observed without altering the composition of matter.

They include properties like:

  • Texture
  • Appearance
  • Odor
  • Color
  • Boiling point
  • Melting point
  • Density
  • Solubility
  • Polarity et cetera.

In contrast, chemical properties refer to the properties which are observed during a chemical reaction of the substance. For example, reaction with oxygen, reaction with acid or base, pH et cetera.
