Recall the definition of an intensive property
An intensive property does not depend on the amount of substance or size of the system.
Examples: temperature, pressure, density.
An extensive property depends on the amount of substance.
Examples: mass, volume, heat capacity.

Check each option one by one
Option A: Molar conductivity
Molar conductivity is defined as where is conductivity and is concentration.
It is a property per mole and does not depend on the total amount of solution taken, so it is treated as an intensive property.
Hence, A is correct.
Option B: Electromotive force (emf)
emf is the potential difference of a cell under open-circuit condition.
Cell potential does not depend on how much of the substance is present, as long as the concentrations remain the same. Therefore, it is an intensive property.
Hence, B is correct.
Option C: Resistance
Resistance is given by where is resistivity, is length, and is cross-sectional area.
Since resistance depends on the dimensions of the conductor, it depends on system size and is therefore not intensive.
Hence, C is incorrect.
Option D: Heat capacity
Heat capacity is
It depends on the amount of substance. More material means greater heat capacity.
So heat capacity is an extensive property.
Hence, D is incorrect.
