(C) The properties of a system that depend upon the quantity of matter contained in it are called extensive properties,e.g.,mass,volume,heat capacity,etc. However,$\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$. Density is an intensive property because it is independent of the quantity of matter in a system. Therefore,the Assertion is correct,but the Reason is incorrect.
