Solution

The correct options are
B
Rigidity

D
Definite shape

It is the strong force of attraction between particles and the tight packing of particles that make solids rigid. Rigidity is one of the unique properties of solids. Because of rigidity, a solid can resist from getting distorted and therefore has definite shape and volume. Because of the closely packed structure of solids, they are incompressible and particles don't flow as there is minimal intermolecular space between them.
