Incorrect option explanation:-

(b)Gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.Hence, given option is incorrect.

(c) The particles of gas does not have strong interparticle force of attraction, hence given option is incorrect.

(d) Only option (a) is correct, hence all of these cannot be answer.

Final statement:- When gas is transferred from a small container to a big container, it occupies all the available space because gases have neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume and have a negligible interparticle force of attraction, so it can easily flow. Hence, option A is correct.
