Answer: A) Gases do not have a definite volume.

Explanation: When a perfume bottle is opened, some liquid changes to gas and the fragrance spreads around the room. The gas spreads around the room since gases do not have a definite volume and they only take the volume of the container they are in. A perfume is a gaseous substance. In a bottle, the gases have been compressed under high pressure so as to take up a little volume. One very important property of gases is that, they do not have a definite volume. They simply assume the volume of their containers. When the perfume is released, it simply begins to spread around through the process of diffusion so as to fill the volume of room.
