Which one of the following is not a gross physical feature of wood ?

  • A.Colour
  • B.Odour
  • C.Lustre
  • D.Hardness

Answer: D

The key's answer is hardness.

The gross (general) features of wood used for identification are those seen or sensed without magnification: colour, odour, lustre, texture, grain, figure and weight. They are judged by eye, nose and hand on a freshly cut surface.

Hardness, the resistance of wood to indentation, is a mechanical property measured by testing (for example the Janka test), so it is the one not counted among the gross physical features.
