Solution

The correct option is B

Motion of particles of matter


Matter consists of minuscule particles. The smaller particle of matter which exists independently is called a molecule. These molecules exist in a state of continuous motion. Their motion never stops with time. Rahul is able to smell the odor of the incense stick because molecules and particles in the matter are in motion.
