Solution
The correct option is B It flows, has a fixed volume and an indefinite shape. A liquid flows.
Liquid has a fixed volume, but it does not have a definite shape.
Liquids take up the shape of the container or vessel in which it is kept and just like solids, liquids too, do not change under pressure because they are generally incompressible.
