Correct answer: D. Liquids
- A. Anisotropic liquids
- B. Nematic liquids
- C. Isotropic liquids
- D. Liquids
Explanation
Liquid crystals are a state of matter intermediate between that of a crystalline solid and liquid. They possess many of the mechanical properties of a liquid, e.g., high fluidity, inability to support shear, formation, and coalescence of droplets.

About Properties of Liquids
Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
