The correct answer as to which statement describes a chemical property of aluminum would be that it reacts with sulfuric acid.

There are two properties of every substance - physical and chemical properties.

Physical properties refer to the characteristics that can be observed without altering the substance while chemical properties refer to the characteristics of undergoing chemical changes in reactions.

Physical properties include color, boiling and melting point, hardness etc., while chemical properties include reactivity, toxicity, flammability, etc.

All the options have to do with physical properties of aluminum except its reactivity with sulfuric acid. The equation of reaction is as follows:

Al + H2SO4 ---> Al2(SO4)3 + H2
