Venn diagrams are used for comparing and contrasting different topics. The overlapping sections show characteristics that the topics have in common, and the sections that are unique to each topic show the characteristics apply to only that topic.

Question illustration
A
Overlapping circles are labeled definite shape most dense at top, mid-level density at right, definite volume least dense at left, with the intersection labeled state of matter.
Option A
B
Overlapping circles are labeled definite shape most dense at top, mid-level density at right, least dense at left, with the intersection of all three labeled state of matter. The intersection of the top and right circles is labeled definite volume.
Option B
C
Overlapping circles are labeled definite shape most dense at top, definite volume mid-level density at right, least dense at left, with the intersection of all three labeled state of matter. The intersection of the left and right circles is labeled definite shape.
