Answer
A
cause molecules to become stationary.
B
leave little space between the molecules.
C
that hold the molecules together are negligible.
D
create large spaces between the molecules.

Explanation

Liquids and solids are called condensed phases because their particles are packed relatively close together, with little empty space between them. Attractive intermolecular forces help keep particles close, though they do not make them completely stationary. Therefore, the correct choice is “leave little space between the molecules.”
