In matter, the particles are held together by intermolecular forces of attraction that keep the particles together and knitted.

In general, the increasing order of strength of intermolecular forces is-

Gases < Liquids < gases.

Thus, the force of attraction between the particles of liquids is not as strong as solid as the particles of a liquid are not tightly packed and thus there are spaces between these particles.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
