Solution

The correct option is C

very loosely packed


The explanation for the correct option (C):

  • Gases occupy all the available space because their molecules are very loosely packed.
  • It doesn't have a definite size, shape, and boundary due to less intermolecular force of attraction between particles.
  • The random motion of their particles applies pressure in all directions and occupies all space available to them.

Thus, option (C) i.e., very loosely packed is the correct option.
