Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Pour point

Explanation

The intended low-temperature flow property is **pour point, A**. It is normally specified as the lowest temperature at which movement is observed under the test procedure. Cloud point concerns visible wax crystals; flash point concerns ignition of vapour; boiling point concerns vaporization. The source uses “ceases to flow” informally.
