Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The molecules in the liquid are less closely packed. It means intermolecular force amongst the molecules of a liquid is weak.
  2. This is the reason liquids are non-rigid and can flow easily.
  3. Solids are rigid as there exists a strong intermolecular force in a solid. So they cannot flow.
  4. Hence, the given statement is true.
