Solution

Explanation for the correct statement:
Characteristics of a liquid:
Liquid state can be considered as an intermediate state of matter.
Here, the particles can be moved and do not have a fixed position but their kinetic energy is less than gaseous particles and more than solid particles.
They acquire the shape of the container in which they are, that's why liquids do not have definite shape.
Therefore, the correct statement is- the particles of liquid do not vibrate at their fixed positions. They can leave their place and move within the liquid content.
