Solution

The correct option is C Brittleness
A substance is called brittle, if it has the tendency to break readily into pieces. Glass is a solid hard material and shows brittleness property.

Also, it is transparent, i.e., it allows light to pass through it, and non-crystalline or amorphous in nature, which means the particles of glass at atomic level are not organized in a definite order.
