Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

In most cases, there are essentially no attractive forces between particles. This means that a gas has nothing to hold a specific shape or volume.

It's difficult to achieve an orderly arrangement of gas molecules due to their high kinetic energy, large distances between particles, and lack of intermolecular forces. These factors cause the molecules to move randomly and freely, making it difficult to constrain them into a structured arrangement. 

There is an explanation video available below.
