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.

According to me, A is the right answer.

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.

Yes, the liquid can not be compressed.

Fluids mean both gases and liquids.
But we are discussing liquids, which are incompressible and gases are compressible.
Liquids have no definite shape.
So the answer is cannot be compressed.

A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure, liquid is the state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.

The liquids are incompressible fluids.

Water is a liquid or fluid, it is not compressible perfectly, it can be compressed upto a minor extent. As given in FM text books that water is regarded as in compressible fluid.
But as we all know that the liquids may take any shape according to container in which it is poured. So there may be confusion regarding answer.
