Sagot :

Answer:

a

Explanation:

Let's evaluate each statement:

Statement A: Solids, liquids and gases can diffuse into liquids.

- Solids: Generally, solids do not diffuse into liquids in the same manner as liquids and gases do. Solids usually dissolve rather than diffuse.

- Liquids: Liquids can diffuse into other liquids.

- Gases: Gases can also diffuse into liquids.

Given this analysis, the statement is partially correct because gases and liquids can diffuse into liquids, but solids typically do not. Therefore, Statement A is **partially correct**.

Statement B: Solids and liquids can be called fluids.

- Solids: Solids are generally not considered fluids because they do not flow. They have a fixed shape and volume.

- Liquids: Liquids are considered fluids because they flow and do not have a fixed shape but have a fixed volume.

Since solids do not exhibit fluid behavior (they are rigid and do not flow), Statement B is incorrect.

Now, let's match these evaluations with the options provided:

- (a)- Statement A is correct but statement B is incorrect.

- (b)- Statement B is correct and statement A is incorrect.

- (c)- Both statements A and B are correct.

- (d)- Both statements A and B are incorrect.

Based on our analysis:

- Statement A is partially correct (not fully incorrect).

- Statement B is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct option is (a): Statement A is correct but statement B is incorrect.
