Solid, because the atoms maintain their form and do not take the shape of their container. The particles share tight, close bonds due to this set shape

The state in which atoms or molecules are closely packed together to the point where they are regularly arranged would be a solid.

The reason for this is because solids have a fixed shape, which explains why their molecules are regularly arranged and packed together unlike liquids and gases which have molecules that have more room to roam and are less packed.
