Answer:

D. no definite shape or. definite volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Gases do not have a definite shape or volume because the molecules in gases are very loosely packed, they have large intermolecular spaces and hence they move around. The particles of solid are closely packed and occupy less space while particles of gases are loosely packed and occupy the complete space available.
