Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
In liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. As a result, they have some amount of kinetic energy which is greater than that present within molecules of a solid.
Due to this a liquid is able to occupy the shape of container in which it is placed. Hence, a liquid substance will always have a definite volume but not fixed shape.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement liquid state has a definite volume and a definite shape, is not true about the liquid state of matter.
