This ones a little difficult for me because 'highly' compressible and 'relatively' high density are a little vague, but on the whole they certainly do have a much higher density than gases and not thaaaat far from solids, and arent nearly as compressible as gasses so id be inclined to pick

= a.

Answer:

a. Liquids are highly compressible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compressibility of a substance or material is the change in volume that it experiences when subjected to a change in pressure.

The molecules in liquids are very close although they have a certain space between them, so their compressibility is small, but even so the change in volume usually requires large forces.
