Low pour point ensures oil flows at low temperatures. Which choice reflects this property?

• A. Low pour point
• B. High pour point
• C. High viscosity
• D. Low flash point

Answer: (A)

Pour point shows the lowest temperature at which oil will still pour and flow under standard conditions. A low pour point means the oil remains fluid at colder temperatures, so it will flow and be pumped even in cold environments. That directly matches the stated property. The other choices describe conditions that don’t specifically reflect flow at low temperatures: a high pour point means poor flow when cold, high viscosity implies thicker oil but not the specific cold-flow threshold, and a low flash point relates to flammability, not flow.
