A chemistry student divides a 200 mL sample of pure ethanol at 25 °C into two separate beakers under standard atmospheric pressure, placing 50 mL into Beaker 1 and 150 mL into Beaker 2. The student then records several physical measurements for each container to analyze how the quantity of substance influences its measured values. Based on the principles of intensive and extensive properties, which pair correctly identifies a property that remains identical across both beakers and a property whose measured value is three times larger in Beaker 2?

A) Intensive (identical): Heat capacity; Extensive (threefold larger): Boiling point

B) Intensive (identical): Boiling point; Extensive (threefold larger): Mass

C) Intensive (identical): Density; Extensive (threefold larger): Temperature

D) Intensive (identical): Volume; Extensive (threefold larger): Specific heat capacity
