Solution

The correct option is A

its particles can easily slide over each other


Explanation of Correct option :- (a) Liquid have weaker inter-particle force of attraction, due to which particles can slide over one another. Hence liquids can flow easily.

Explanation of incorrect option :-

Option (b) :- The forces of attraction between the particles of liquids are weaker.Due to which they are able to slide over one another to flow.

Option (c) :- The positions of liquid particles are not fixed due to comparatively weak forces of attraction between them.

Option (d):- As option “b” is not correct, so both “a” and “b” cannot be the options.

Concluding statement :- Due to weak inter-particle force in liquids, they can slide over one another and can flow easily.
