Question

Which determines the state of matter for any material?

Answer 1

By state of matter I assume you mean solid, liquid, gas, in which case the answer would be C.
the behaviour of molecules:
- in a solid is low energy with limited activity where molecules only vibrate, cannot mould to shape of container
- in a liquid is with moderate energy, with molecules flowing over the top of one another, and thus can mould to the shape of the container
- in a gas is high energy with much activity, molecules "fly" around the container they are in and can be compressed
