Solution

The correct options are
C Doesn't have a fixed shape
D Has a particular volume
A liquid has a particular volume but it doesn't have a definite shape. Liquid takes the shape of the container in which it is kept.
The inter-molecular forces in case of a liquid are not as strong as in solids and hence a liquid is not held together tightly. Thus, the liquid takes up the shape of the container in which it is kept.

Hence, the correct options are $B$ and $C$
