Answer : The correct option is, Plasma.

Explanation :

As we know that there are four states of matter which are solid, liquid, gas and plasma.

Solid state : In this state, the molecules are arranged in regular and repeating pattern. The molecules are closely packed that means they are fixed and vibrate in place but they can not move from one place to another.

For example : Copper

Liquid state : In this state, the molecules are present in random and irregular pattern. The molecules are closely packed but they can move from one place to another.

For example : water

Gaseous state : In this state, the molecules are present in irregular pattern. The molecules are not closely packed and they can move freely from one place to another and spread out.

For example : Helium gas

Plasma state : In this state, the stars, atoms lose their electrons at very high temperature. The mixture of protons, electrons and neutrons that result is the plasma state of matter.

The plasma is made up of atoms in which the electrons have been far away and positively charged nuclei (ions) revolve freely.

For example : Sun

Hence, the correct option is, Plasma.
