• C. Only those which can be seen with human naked eye
• D. Only those having odour

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

Anything that occupy space

B

Anything that has mass

In the universe, everything that is made up of material is named 'matter'. In other words, things that occupy space (volume) and have mass are considered as matter. The tiny particles that constitute matter cannot be seen with our naked eye. Matter can be odourless; water and air are two such examples.
