Solution

The correct option is A solid
Although compressible, a sponge is solid.
It contains several minute holes that trap air within. When compressed, the air gets pushed out and its shape changes. On the release of compression, the air fills in and the sponge regains its shape. Its volume as a whole does not change, which is why it is solid.
