Solution

The correct option is C closeness between the particles
Matters that are composed of atoms packed tightly together are known as solids. Even in solids there is a small space between the atoms.

Depending on how tight the atoms are packed determines the density of matter. This means that a one inch block of wood is not as dense as a one inch block of gold.

There is more space between the atoms of the wood than the atoms of the gold.

Hence, the correct option is C
