Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Properties of a Liquid
  • A liquid does not have a rigid shape; it takes the shape of its container.
Step 2: Determine the Volume Characteristics
  • A liquid has a fixed volume, meaning it does not expand to fill the entire container like a gas.
Step 3: Evaluate the Options
  • Option a: Incorrect, as a liquid does not have a rigid shape.
  • Option b: Correct, as a liquid has a fixed volume.
  • Option c: Incorrect, as a liquid does have a fixed volume, though it lacks a rigid shape.

Final Answer

The correct answer is B.
