Solution

The correct option is A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
Solids can easily sustain stress without permanent change in shape while gases cannot. This is because, gases being fluid are easily compressible, even under slight stress.

So both A and R are true, and R correctly explains the A.
