To determine the correct response, we first need to identify which types of properties were measured in each of Katie's experiments. However, since the chart containing the details of the experiments is not provided in your question, I can guide you on how to assess the options based on common knowledge of physical and chemical properties:

  • Physical properties can typically be observed or measured without changing the chemical identity of the substance. Examples include color, melting point, boiling point, density, and solubility.

  • Chemical properties describe the substance's potential to undergo chemical changes. These might include reactivity with acids, bases, or oxygen, or the ability to combust or undergo a particular chemical reaction.

Once you review each experiment (from the missing chart) and identify whether they focused on physical or chemical properties, you could accurately choose one of the responses provided.

If you have access to the details of the experiments or can provide them, I can help you determine which response is correct based on that information.
