Which of the following could be described as intangible?

  1. A physical object

  2. A concept or idea

  3. A building or structure

  4. A tool or device

The correct answer is: A concept or idea

The aspect that can be described as intangible is a concept or idea. Intangibility refers to something that cannot be touched or measured physically. Concepts and ideas are abstract in nature; for example, notions like freedom, love, and justice exist in thought but do not have a physical form. They cannot be perceived through the senses in the same way as a physical object or structure can. This distinction highlights the nature of intangible items, in contrast to physical objects, buildings, and tools, which are all tangible and can be perceived through touch or sight.
