Answer: None of the above statements is false.

Explanation:

In a solid substance, particles are closely held together due to which a solid substance has definite shape and volume. Therefore, solids are also incompressible in nature.

In liquids, the molecules are slightly away from each other due to which they can slide past each other. Hence, liquids do not have a fixed shape but they have a definite volume. Liquids are also incompressible in nature.

In gases, the particles are held by Vander waal forces due to which they move rapidly from one place to another. Hence, gases are highly compressible in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that none of the given statements are false.
