Solution and Explanation

Correct answer: Odour 

Explanation:
An olfactory indicator is a substance whose odour changes in acidic or basic solutions. This change in smell is used to detect whether a substance is acidic or basic. 

Common olfactory indicators include:
- Onion extract
- Clove oil
- Vanilla essence 

These substances have a characteristic smell that either fades or changes in acidic or basic environments. 

Hence, the correct answer is: Odour.
