Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation: Liquid is one of the states of matter.

Liquid is the intermediate state in between solid and gas. The distance between the particles is more than solid but less than gas. The liquid particles can fill up the shape of the container in which it is filled without changing volume. These particles have a tendency to flow.

Hence, when liquid water is poured into a glass, the shape of the particles changes to fit the shape of glass and then it stays the same because the shape of container (here glass) remains the same.

So, the correct answer is option B.
