Key word there is Chemical, all of those properties listed are accurate but the only chemical property listed there is that it is combustible meaning it can react with Oxygen gas.

Explanation:

Boiling point is a physical property as it is indicative of a phase change. Conductivity is also a physical property as it does not altar the chemical composition of the substance in any way.

B. It is a combustible gas.

Explanation:

#"2H"_2("g") + "O"_2("g") + "heat"##rarr##"2H"_2"O" + "heat" + "light"#

The video below shows what happens when balloons that contain a mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are exposed to a flame (source of heat).
