Solution

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

The intermolecular forces between gas particles are weaker than liquids and solids. The atoms of gases are not tightly bound to each other; they can flow faster than the liquids. So gases neither have definite shape nor a definite volume. They simply take the shape of a container.
