The correct answer is B.

A. Both the liquid and gas states are less stable in their reactions, that's way solids are solid.

B. Liquid maintains its volume when pressured while gas has more difficulties doing it. Take for example a syringe that is closed: if you have liquid inside it and you press the plunger down, the plunger won't move; if you have just air inside it, you can press the plunger and it will be moved compacting more the air.

C. True for both, that's why we can move in water and in air.

D. True for both. Liquids are easy to understand because they can easily be seen, but when you think of white smoke and how it holds shapes, you can understand the concept for gases as well.
