Solution

The correct option is B volume
Solids, liquids and gases are the three states of matter. They differ primarily in terms of their shape and volume.

Solids have definite shape and volume while liquids have a definite volume but not a definite shape. They take the shape of the container. Gases neither have a definite shape nor a definite volume.
