Answer 1

D) Gases expand to fill their container, while liquids have a definite volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

One significant difference between gases and liquids is that gases expand to fill their container, while liquids have a definite volume.

Gases do not have a definite shape or volume and can compress and expand.

Liquids, on the other hand, have a definite volume and take the shape of their container.

So, the correct answer is D) a gas expands to fill its container.
