Solution

The correct option is D Both liquids and gases
A fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress, or external force. Fluids are a phase of matter and include liquids, gases and plasmas. Liquids form a free surface (that is, a surface not created by the container) while gases do not. The term 'fluid' is used for both liquids and gases.
