An intensive property is a physical property that does not depend on the amount of substance present. In this case, the only option that represents an intensive property is:
**D. The density is calculated to be 6.30 g/cm³.**
Density is an intensive property because it remains the same regardless of the size or mass of the object. The other options (mass, length, and volume) are extensive properties, which do depend on the amount of material present.
**D. The density is calculated to be 6.30 g/cm³.**
