Water lacking distinct smell and flavor is described as?

• A. Odorless and Tasteless
• B. Colorless and Clear
• C. Opaque
• D. Salty

Answer: (A)

Sensory properties of water: when water has no distinct smell or taste, it is described as odorless and tasteless. Odorless means no detectable smell, and tasteless means no distinctive flavor. This matches the idea of pure water lacking both smell and flavor. The other options describe appearance (colorless and clear), visibility (opaque), or a taste that wouldn’t be present in pure water (salty). In everyday water, trace minerals can alter taste or odor, but in its pure form it remains odorless and tasteless.
