Solution

The correct option is C Definite volume but no definite shape
A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter. The force of attraction between particles is lesser than that of solids but the particles still hold each other. So they have a definite volume and take the shape of a container. Thus, they don't have a fixed shape.
