whatever container it is in

Spherical.
It's because of surface tension and gravity. The only reason liquid on Earth tends to go flat is because the Earth's gravity is pulling it down. In zero gravity, liquids form themselves into rough spheres due to surface tension.
For the matter of that, you could say that the natural shape of everything is spherical, because if you have enough of it, gravity will pull it into a spherical shape.

It has no shape. Thats part of the definition of a liquid. It takes the shape of its container.

"Liquid" is an open ended word. It depends on what type of liquid we are referring to. Then once you know what liquid you are referring to we have to look at the molecular makeup of it and obviously different molecules have different shapes. H2O for example is a bent shape(dont know exactly what that particular shape molecule is called).

the shape of the container you put the liquid

liquids take the shape of any container they're in, they don't have a definite shape.

Spherical. Outside of any gravitational Field it is effected by its own gravitational Field. When any other Field effects the liquid it takes the shape of it's container.

liquid takes the shape of whatever container or wherever it is placed, it has no shape of it's own

liquids don't have a shape--they take the shape of whatever confines them.

liquid has no shape other than what is containing it.

I'm guessing sphere. Since that's the shape it would take in the absence of gravity
