Think about it. Liquid water flows and does not have a definite form. However, no matter what container it is in, you still have the same amount. In other words, the volume doesn't change, but the shape does. You choose the right answer based on that.

A. It has definite volume but not a definite shape.
Water always has a definite volume, due to the arrangement of its molecules. But, again due to intermollecular forces, water will not possess any shape and will assume the shape of the container in which it is kept

a, because while water in its liquid state adopts the shape of the container, water is not very compressible hence the definite volume. it is this incompressibility of water (and most fluids) that enable hydraulic machinery to work.
