Correct Answer
C. Something that can hold it's shape

Explanation
The correct answer is "something that can hold its shape." This means that a solid is a state of matter that maintains a fixed shape and volume, unlike liquids and gases which can flow and change shape. Solids have strong intermolecular forces that hold their particles closely together, allowing them to maintain their shape.
