* Liquids have a definite volume: This means they occupy a specific amount of space. If you pour a liquid into a container, it will take on the volume of that container.
* Liquids do not have a definite shape: Liquids take the shape of their container. Think of water in a glass, a bottle, or a puddle.
Let's look at why the other options are incorrect:
* A. it has definite shape but no volume: This is incorrect. Liquids do not have a definite shape.
* B. and C. readily compressible: Liquids are only slightly compressible. Gases are much more compressible.
In summary: Liquids have a definite volume but take on the shape of their container.
