A) It has more internal energy than the solid state.

this statement is true for both liquid and gas because in both molecules are free and not rigidly bounded

B) It will change shape and take the shape of its container.

This is also true for both because weak bonding in the molecules

C) It allows particle to move past each other relatively easily.

Again due to weak bonding between the molecules this is true for both liquid and gas

D) It has close to a constant volume as pressure is applied to it.

This is true for liquids but not for gas because on changing the pressure volume of gas may not be constant always

So option D is correct answer
