Answer:

D. Gas

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. This makes choice c (Mixture) incorrect because it is not part of the group.

The particles in gas are widely separated, which means there's a lot of free space between the particles. This makes it easily compressible. The particles then move past each other, which causes no regular arrangement.
