Solution

The correct option is B
Liquid

Liquids are not rigid. They have a definite volume, but no definite shape. They take the shape of the vessel in which they are placed. This is because

the inter-molecular force between the constituent molecules of liquid is not much strong due to which the molecules are free to move.
