The correct option is D.
Because liquids flow, they can assume the shape of any container in which they are pour. Liquids are able to flow because the particles in liquid move around one another easily. When a liquid is pour inside a container, the container limit the fluidity of the liquid particles, so the liquid take up the shape of the container.
