Solution

The correct option is B They have a definite shape.
Fluids (liquids and gases) are substances that have the tendency to flow. They don't have a fixed shape and can take the shape of the container in which they are filled. However, they have a definite mass and volume.

They have large interparticle space. When they are compressed, the particles moves closer to each other. Hence, they are compressible.
