C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fluids is a substance that cannot resist a shear force or stress without moving as can a solid. It is usually classified as liquids or gases. A liquid has intermolecular forces that hold it together so that it possesses volume but no definite shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -All fluids, whether liquid or gas, have the same five properties: compressibility, pressure, buoyancy, viscosity, and surface tension. If a fluid is not compressible and it has zero viscosity it is considered an ideal fluid.

Detailed explanation-3: -A solid has definite volume and shape, a liquid has a definite volume but no definite shape, and a gas has neither a definite volume nor shape. Figure 3.3.2: A Representation of the Solid, Liquid, and Gas States.
