A
measuring the speed of the chemical reaction
B
describing how copper changes color in chlorine
C
recording how long it takes to burn magnesium
D
showing the results of an experiment with a graph

Explanation

A qualitative observation describes a quality or characteristic without measuring it numerically. Describing how copper changes color in chlorine is qualitative; measuring reaction speed or burning time gives numerical data, and a graph presents results rather than making an observation.
