Question

12/17 define matter. a substance that can exist in solid, liquid, or gas form. an object that is visible and can be touched. anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume). a concept that describes energy and its transformations.

Explanation:

In natural science, matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume). The first option only describes states of matter without the mass - volume aspect. The second option is too restrictive as not all matter is visible or touchable (e.g., some gases). The fourth option is about energy, not matter.

Answer:

C. Anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume).
