Answer:

A. gases only

Step-by-step explanation:

It is only in gases that the particles are very far apart so they can fill their contains.

There are four major states of matter which solid, liquid, gases and plasma.

  • Particles of a gas have very weak attractive forces between them.
  • They do not have fixed volume nor shape
  • They easily fill up any containers they are put into.
  • Gases are compressible and moves randomly in a straight line.
  • Liquids and solids do not fill up containers.
  • Liquids although have weak forces but they are better attracted than gases.
  • Solids have fixed and definite volume.

So, option A is the perfect answer.
