Solution

The correct answer is a. II is quantitative while IV is a qualitative observation.

Explanation: Quantitative observations are those that deal with a quantity or number -- like mass in this case. Qualitative observations are those that deal with characteristics that cannot be expressed in numbers -- like the use of the stone to crack calcite rocks.
