B Temperature

An intensive property is a physical quantity whose value does not depend on the amount of the substance for which it is measured. For example, the temperature of a system in thermal equilibrium is the same as the temperature of any part of it. If the system is divided the temperature of each subsystem is identical. The same applies to the density of a homogeneous system; if the system is divided in half, the mass and the volume change in the identical ratio and the density remains unchanged. Additionally, the boiling point of a substance is another example of an intensive property. For example, the boiling point for water is100 °C at a pressure of one atmosphere, a fact which remains true regardless of quantity.

 

So the answer is B. Temperature.

B - Temperature,

Quoting Wikipedia:

An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system. Examples of intensive properties include temperature, refractive index, density, and hardness of an object. When a diamond is cut, the pieces maintain their intrinsic hardness (until their size reaches a few atoms thick).

 The specific volume, an intensive property, is the system's volume per unit of mass. Volume is a function of state and is interdependent with other thermodynamic properties such as pressure and temperature. For example, volume is related to the pressure and temperature of an ideal gas by the ideal gas law.

So here the answer is B Temperature.

 (B - (Temperature 

The answer is both of choice A and B, because

Based on Ideal gas equation: PV = nRT

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the amount of substance of gas (in moles)

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature
