Solution

The correct option is D Gases have high rate of diffusion
Gases neither have a fixed shape nor fixed volume.
Gases have weak interparticle forces of attraction and large space between the particles. Due to this:
1. Gases are highly compressible.
2. The gas particles can move randomly from one place to another.
Thus, gases have a high rate of diffusion.
