A. The mass because it will depend on the size of the sample.
B. The volume because it will depend on the size of the sample.
C. The weight because it does not depend on the size of the sample.
D. The density because it does not depend on the size of the sample.

Answer 1

D. The density because it does not depend on the size of the sample — density (mass/volume) is a characteristic property of a material and can identify whether two samples are the same wood.
