Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A chair is a solid substance and it is known that particles in a solid are closely held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

Therefore, solids are rigid and have a definite shape.

Thus, we can conclude that the chair in which you are currently sitting retain its same shape over time because the particles of the chair are strongly held together.
