Answer:

D. that has a definite volume, but no definite shape

Step-by-step explanation:

There are mainly three states of matter and these are: solid, liquid and gas.

Liquid has a definite volume because its particles still remain in contact although they're moving freely. On the other hand, such free movement of the particles render it to have "no definite shape." This is the reason why liquid takes the shape of the container it is poured into.

If you pour a 500-ml liquid into a rectangular-shaped container, it will look rectangular. However, its volume of 500-ml will remain the same.
