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.
