Final answer:

Physical properties that can be observed without changing the substance's identity include melting temperature, boiling temperature, conductivity, and flexibility. Reactivity towards water is a chemical property as it changes the substance's chemical makeup.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the options provided in the question, the ones that would be considered physical properties are:

A. melting temperature

B. boiling temperature

D. conductivity

E. flexibility

All these properties can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Reactivity towards water (option C) is a chemical property because it involves a change in the substance's chemical identity when it reacts with water.
