B) density

Explanation:

The density of nickel would be the best physical property of the mineral to identify it with no matter how big a piece that is found.

Density is an intensive property of any substance that is unique to them. It is not a function of the amount of matter unlike extensive properties that varies with the amount of substance that is present.

Density is the amount of substance that is present in a unit volume of it:

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

All samples of nickel no matter their size have the same density which is different from those of other metals.
