    Option D. maintain their positions.

    Pressure does not modify the relative position of the atoms in solid matter. The atoms are kept in position by the atomic and molecular bonds whose length is a feature of every pair of atoms.

    For example, all the bonds of C-C and C-H in the wood will have the same bond length
