Solution

The correct option is A Glass
Amorphous solids neither have ordered arrangement (i.e. no definite shape) nor have a sharp melting point like crystals, but when heated, they become pliable until they assume the properties usually related to liquids. It is, therefore, they are regarded as super-cooled liquids.
