Answer:

The Answer is C; There is little, if any, space left between its adjacent molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is so compact, it cannot be compressed any further. Imagine trying to press down on a piece of bread versus a brick. The bread would flatten because it is full of air, but the brick would not because it is compact.

I hope this helps, have a nice day! :)
