Definirely aqueous solution.
HCl is a gas at room temperature, but it readily dissolves in water up to about 40% by weight HCl. That gives you a solution about 12.4 molar, with a pH of -1.1. Beyond that, HCl gas starts coming off, and you have fuming hydrochloric.
HCl itself (the gas, not the gas in water called hydrochloric acid) is a solid below -114.2 degrees C, a liquid from there to -85.1 degrees C, and a gas from there on up.

Hydrochloric acid is BOTH a liquid AND an aqueous solution. All aqueous solutions are liquid, but not all liquids are aqueous solutions. An aqueous solution is just a solution in which water is the solvent, or the thing that dissolves the substance that's being dissolved.

Both obviously! Hydrochloric acid , an aqueous solution of hydrogen chloride, is, at normal temperature, a liquid.

If it is pure 100% HCl, it is a liquid solution. If it is diluted at all with water, it becomes both an aqueous and a liquid solution. Most HCl would be considered aqueous, as it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Only greatly purified HCl would be non-aqueous. Liquid refers to the state of matter (solid/liquid/gas); Aqueous refers to the presence of water (H2O).

HCl as a gas has an uncommon capability to dissolve in water. Since the gaseous form is the state of HCl in normal conditions, it's got to be an aqueous solution. I doubt it would be worth the trouble manufacturing pressure containers for gaseous HCl as we do for propane or butane.

It's an aqueous solution.

Industrial or chemical grade HCl in water, is an aqueous solution.

LIQUID AND AQUEOUS ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS!
aqueous means dissolved in water!!
HCl is aq

Liquid and Aqueous are synonymous.

liquid as there is no water in it
an aqueous solution is a solid dissolved in water
