Liquids are incompressible, can occupy shape of the container, and there is one more thing that properties of liquids may change based upon pressure and temperature conditions like by vapour pressure it could may cause vaporisation. So, the answer may be C. Because they do change their properties.

According to me, A is the right answer.

Liquid can compress then only we can have bulk elastic modulus but usually ignore and assume as liquid is incompressible and also water is incompressible but water only not liquid so given answer is correct.

Because the particles in liquids are very close together (barely further apart than in solids) liquids do not easily compress, so their volume is fixed. Gases can also flow, so occupy the shape of their whole container. They do not have a fixed shape.

Liquid has no definite shape, (vessels) it occupies the space provided by us.

The answer is yes, You can compress water, or almost any material. However, it requires a great deal of pressure to accomplish a little compression. For that reason, liquids and solids are sometimes referred to as being incompressible. So B IS RIGHT ANSWER.

The only liquid that has a density of one is water, that is, it s the only incompressible liquid others can be compressed, again water can be affected by temperature.
SO, B IS RIGHT ANSWER.
SO, B IS RIGHT ANSWER.
