    solid

    Explanation:

    First let's look at the difference between the states of matter

    Most solids maintain their shape regardless of where they are contained

    Liquids and gases take the form of the container that contains them

    In addition the gases expand their volume and tend to occupy the entire surface where they are contained

    For example, if we have a certain volume of water in a square container, the water will have this shape

    If we take the same volume and place it in a spherical container it will stop being square and will adapt to the spherical shape

    At the beginning it is placed in a square box and they tell us that it maintains its spherical shape then it is contained in a spherical container and maintains its shape and volume

    It maintains its shape and volume regardless of the container that contains it, therefore it is in a solid state

    Solid

    Explanation:

    A solid maintains a constant shape and a constant volume.

    B is wrong, because a liquid maintains its volume but assumes the shape of the container.

    C is wrong, because a gas maintains neither a constant shape nor a constant volume.
