Answer:

Option a incompressible

Step-by-step explanation:

Liquids have definite volume, but indefinite shape.

Liquids take the shape of the container . When a liquid is inside a container, it will take its shape. Unlike gases, a liquid cannot change its volume to spread out and completely fill a container. Hence a liquid cannot be compressed.

Immiscible is not right because this applies only when two liquids are there

Surfectants are compounds that reduce the surface tension between two liquids or a liquid or a gas, etc.

Hence here appropriate choice is

a) incompressible
