Solution

The correct option is D
Volume and shape are not definite; negligible intermolecular attractions

Explanation for correct option :
The Gaseous particles are far away from each other and have large empty spaces between them and that is why they don’t have fixed volume and shape and no intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of a gas.
Solids have fixed shapes and volumes with strong intermolecular forces of attraction.
Liquids have no fixed shape but fixed volume with moderate forces of attraction.
Therefore, option D is correct.
