Solution

The correct option is B intermolecular space
In liquids, the molecules are not closely packed and have more intermolecular spaces between them. The sugar molecules get adjusted between the water molecules. Therefore, the water level does not increase. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. Liquids do not have a definite shape and take the shape of the container. They flow from a higher level to a lower level. But the experiment does not show these properties. Hence the correct answer is intermolecular space.
