Answer 1

They have no freedom to move

Step-by-step explanation:

Particles can be solids, liquids and gases.

Solids are the substances in which the atoms are very close to each other. It is very difficult to separate the molecules. The atoms cannot move from one place to another. The inter molecular forces between them is very strong.

Hence, the correct option that describes the movement of atoms in a solid is (c) "They have no freedom to move".
