None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A solid has both definite shape and fixed volume. Liquid has no definite shape, but has a fixed volume. A gas has neither a definite shape nor a fixed volume.
Detailed explanation-2: -Due to the weak internuclear force of attraction, the gaseous particles have enough kinetic energy and they can move in any direction without any restrictions. Hence, the gases do not have a fixed shape and fixed volume.
Detailed explanation-3: -In gases, the particles are very loosely packed and the intermolecular force of attraction is very weak. So the gas molecules can break loose easily from any boundary and can fill up any space. Hence, they do not have any definite volume.
