Solution

The correct option is A Boiling point
Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend upon the ratio of the number of solute particles to the number of solvent molecules in a solution, and not on the type of chemical species present.
[or]
Physical properties of solutions that depend on the number but not the kind of solute particles in a given amount of solvent are called colligative properties. There are four important colligative properties of a solution that are directly proportional to the number of solute particles present.

  1. Relative lowering of vapour pressure
  2. Elevation of boiling point
  3. Depression in freezing point
  4. Osmotic pressure

So the boiling point is not a colligative property.
Hence, the correct option is A
