Answer: B. Compressing 2 liters of water into a 1 liter volume.

Explanation: Liquids have little compressibility as compared to gases. Their molecules are quite near each other compared to gases which far apart. When liquids are compressed up to their capacity it will begin to resist. But gases have higher compressibility rate than liquids.
