Solution

The correct option is C Liquids have higher inter-particle space than solids.
The rate of diffusion of liquids higher than that of solids because liquids have higher inter-particle space than solids. This leads to higher fluidity than solids as the particles in a liquid are not as closely packed as in case of solids.
