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.

I think both A&B are right.
