We are given the following information in the question:
If A exceeds B in some property and B exceeds C, then A must also exceed C.
We have to define the property shown by A,B and C.
Transitivity:
It is a mathematical property which states that between three numbers if first and second share the property, second and third share the property, then according to transitive property, the property holds between first and third as well.
Thus, A, B and C here shows the transitive property.
