Solution
The correct option is B Kerosene
The particles of liquids are a little further apart and are free to slide and flow, taking the shape of the container. Thus, a liquid has no fixed shape.
However, since the particle movement is restricted to within the space occupied by the liquid, a liquid does have a fixed size (volume).
Here, kerosene is liquid so it doesn't have fixed shape but have a fixed volume.
