Answer:

boiling point elevation - colligative property

color - non-colligative property

freezing point depression - colligative property

vapor pressure lowering - colligative property

density - non-colligative property

Explanation:

A colligative property is a property that depends on the number of particles present in the system.

Freezing point depression, boiling point elevation and vapour pressure lowering are all colligative properties of solutions.

Colour and density do not depend on the number of particles present hence they are not colligative properties.
