have a definite mass and volume.

other
c a huge mansion with only two people living inside it who never see each other
d a completely empty carton without a single drop of milk in it

Explanation:

The text describes atoms in a liquid as being close together but able to move around. Option A (a crowded ice - skating rink with people skating around each other) shows a situation where entities (people) are close (crowded rink) and can move (skating around), which is similar to liquid atoms. Option B (plants in rows and columns) implies a fixed structure like a solid. Option C (only two people in a huge mansion) has entities (people) that are not close. Option D (empty carton) has no entities, unlike liquid which has atoms.

Answer:

A. A crowded ice skating rink with people skating around each other
