Colligative properties are those properties which depend on the number of solute particles irrespective of their nature relative to the total number of particles present in the solution.
Among the followings in the above options ,optical activity is not an colligative property.Since this is a phenomenon of rotation of plane polarised light either to left or right by an chiral molecule.
