Solution
The correct options are A Water B Oxygen Both liquids and gases have loosely packed molecules. These molecules move freely and occupy the space around them. They do not have any fixed shape. They take the shape of container in which they are placed.
But solids like wood and stone have fixed shape. So only water (liquid) and oxygen(gas) take up shape of container.
