Question

which statement correctly describes both gases and liquids? a their volume stays the same when they are in different containers. b their volume changes when they are in different containers. c their shape changes when they are in a different container. d their shape stays the same in any container.

Explanation:

Both gases and liquids are fluids. Fluids take the shape of their containers. Gases expand to fill the entire container, and liquids take the shape of the part of the container they occupy. Their volume doesn't change just because of the container (assuming no external factors like temperature - pressure changes for gases), but their shape does change.

Answer:

C. Their shape changes when they are in a different container.
