Solution

The correct option is B Statement A is incorrect and B is correct.
The force of attraction between the particles is strong in solids which results in them having fixed shape and volume. So, solids have a definite shape, size and volume.
The force of attraction between the particles is weak in gases. As a result, they neither have fixed shape nor have a fixed volume.
