What statement best describes a solid? a. solids have definite shape and variable volume. b. solids have variable shape and variable volume. c. solids have a definite shape and definite volume. d. solids have a variable shape and definite volume.

The correct answer is C. Solids have a definite shape and definite volume

Explanation:

There are four main forms or states in which matter can exist, this includes liquid, gas, solid and plasma and each of this varies according to shape, volume, and other features. In the case of solids, this occurs when particles in the matter are close to each other and remain statics, which creates a defined shape with a definite volume, different to liquids that have a definite volume but not a definite shape or to gases that vary in volume and shape. Considering this, the statement that best describes a solid is "Solids have a definite shape and definite volume".
