Answer:

The volume will stay the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Three states of matter are solid, liquid and gases. The liquid state has the inter molecular force of attraction range between the solids and gases.

Liquids do not have fixed shape but have fixed volume. Suppose, if 10 ml of water is transferred from the glass to the cup, its volume will remain the same.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
