Answer:
A
Explanation:
There are three states of mater; solid liquid and gas. The sold state is the difficult to compress while the gaseous state is quite easy to compress.
A gas is easily compressed because the particles in a gas are far apart from each other. A solid is difficult to compress because the particles of a solid are close together. From all the above statements, it is easily deducible that the compressibility property of a substance in a particular state of matter depends on the proximity of the particles to each other, hence the answer above.
