An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of matter present in a system. Out of the options you provided, the extensive property is:

C. Density

Density is a measure of mass per unit volume, and it changes as the amount of substance increases or decreases. The more matter you have, the higher the density will be, and vice versa. Enthalpy (A), concentration (B), and viscosity (D) are intensive properties, which do not depend on the amount of matter present and are instead related to the nature or composition of the substance.
