Statement II: Liquids have fixed shape.

• A. Statement I is true and II is false
• B. Statement I is false and II is true
• C. Both statements are true
• D. Both statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement I is true and II is false

The particles in liquids are farther apart than in solids, but they are still in close proximity. Therefore liquids have a definite volume. However, the particles have some space between each other and can move freely. So liquids have no definite shape and take the shape of its container. Hence, the statement I is true and statement II is false.
