    Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    In liquids, molecules are held by slightly less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids.

    Hence, molecules of a liquid are able to slide past each other as they have more kinetic energy than the molecules of a solid.

    As a result, liquids are able to occupy the shape of container in which they are placed. Also, liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.

    Thus, we can conclude that liquids have a variable shape and a fixed volume.
