Answer:

B

Explanation:

A is not the answer.  Although the statement is accurate in regards to gases, it does not explain why liquids and gases can flow.

B is the answer.  Solids are in fixed structures.  When you apply heat or pressure, these structures are broken apart and allowed to move freely.

C is not the answer.  This is inaccurate.  Changing the phase of a substance does not change the size of the particle.

D is not the answer.  The opposite of this statement is true.  The attractive forces between particles in a solid allow the substance to hold its structure.  When you apply heat or pressure, the attractive forces are overpowered and the structure is broken.
