Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
The properties of a system which depend upon quantity of matter contained in it are called extensive properties,

e.g., mass, volume, heat capacity etc.

But mass / volume = density is an intensive property as density does not depend upon quantity of matter in a system.
