- C.
  
  Matter
- D.
  
  S
- E.
  
  S
Correct Answer
C. Matter

Explanation
Matter is the correct answer because it refers to anything that has mass and takes up space. This includes both tangible objects, such as a table or a book, as well as intangible substances like air or sound. Matter is composed of atoms and molecules, and it exists in various forms such as solids, liquids, and gases. Therefore, matter encompasses all physical substances that we encounter in our daily lives.

- D.
  
  S
Correct Answer
A. Material property

Explanation
A material property describes how a material reacts under certain conditions, such as when it is heated or weight is put on it. Material properties can include characteristics such as strength, elasticity, conductivity, and thermal expansion. These properties help us understand and predict how a material will behave in different situations, which is important for designing and using materials effectively in various applications.

  S
Correct Answer
C. Ceramics

Explanation
Ceramics is a material that is made from silicates. Silicates are compounds containing silicon and oxygen, and ceramics are typically made by heating and shaping these silicate compounds. Ceramics have a wide range of applications due to their desirable properties such as high strength, heat resistance, and electrical insulation. Therefore, ceramics can be considered as a material made from silicates.
