Solution

The correct option is C Weak intermolecular force
The intermolecular forces between the particles of a gas are weak and negligible.
Hence due to weak intermolecular forces and random movement, particles move across all corners of the vessel. so it completely fills the vessel in which it is kept.

Hence opt. C is correct.
