Respuesta :

Answer:

a. definite volume

Explanation:

The physical properties of liquids are their retention of volume and  conformation to the shape of its container.

The characteristics measurable by instruments are called physical property. Definite volume is the physical property of a substance in the liquid state. Thus, option a is correct.

What are physical properties?

The characteristics that are seen without any chemical reaction have been called physical properties. The liquid being the phase of the matter shows the physical property of shape and volume.

The liquid changes its state without undergoing any chemical composition alteration. The molecules of the liquid are placed at a distance and have an indefinite shape but definite volumes.

The volume is definite as the number of the particles is constant but lacks shape and takes the form of the container in which they are held.

Therefore, option a. liquids have a definite volume.
