True or False: Liquids can be compressed.

Liquids are generally considered incompressible substances, meaning that they do not significantly change their volume when subjected to pressure. The molecular structure of liquids allows them to flow and take the shape of their container, but the molecules are usually in close contact with each other, which makes it difficult to compress them significantly.

When pressure is applied to a liquid, the molecules do not have enough space to move closer together like gases do. Therefore, under normal conditions, liquids maintain a relatively constant volume regardless of external pressure. This property differentiates liquids from gases, which can be compressed much more easily.

The other choices consider specific scenarios, such as extreme pressures or different types of liquids, but they all ultimately acknowledge that the compressibility of liquids is negligible in standard conditions, reinforcing the idea that the correct answer reflects the general principle of liquid behavior.
