Solution

The correct option is D The number of solute particles present in it
Colligative properties : Those physical properties of a solution which depend upon the number of particles in a given volume of the solution or the mole fraction of the solute are called colligative properties.

The following four properties are colligative properties :
(i)Lowering of vapour pressure of the solvent.

(ii)Elevation in boiling point of the solvent.

(iii)Depression in freezing point of solvent.

(iv)Osmotic pressure.
