Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.
Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.
Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.
List of the properties observed by the scientist:

Answer:
First the chlorophyll (the chemical that makes plants leaves green and traps sunlight)...
Next the sunlight gives the plant energy to start the food-making process.
Then the roots suck nutrients up to the leaves and then the leaves mix carbon dioxide,...
Finally they throw out their waste (oxygen).
Answer is: B. designing an experiment to test the plum pudding model.
Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate, but before testing, he thought that plum pudding model is correct.
Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.
This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).
Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.
That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.
