If you are describing methane as a gas that easily catches fire, you are describing a ____.

A. state of matter***
B. physical property
C. chemical property
D. chemical formula

I think it's A

I disagree with A. It's true that methane is a gas but I think that's a secondary issue. Its flammability is what you are talking about.

Chemical property

That's correct! If you are describing methane as a gas that easily catches fire, you are describing its state of matter. In this case, methane is a gas at room temperature and easily ignites when exposed to a flame. It is important to note that while methane's flammability is a characteristic of its chemical composition, the question is asking specifically about the description given, which focuses on its state of matter.
