Solution

The correct option is A
No definite volume and no definite shape.

Gases neither have definite shape nor definite volume. The atoms of gases are not tightly bound to each other; they can flow faster than the liquids. Generally, gases can be compressed or expanded easily than any other state of matter.

The intermolecular forces between gas particles are weaker than liquids.
