Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
States of Matter
The states of matter refer to the distinct forms that different phases of matter take on. The three primary states are solids, liquids, and gases, each characterized by unique properties. Solids have a definite shape and volume, liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a definite shape nor volume.

Properties of Liquids
Liquids are a state of matter that have a definite volume but no fixed shape, allowing them to conform to the shape of their container. This property is due to the relatively close arrangement of molecules in liquids, which allows them to flow while maintaining a consistent volume. Examples include water, oil, and, as mentioned, lemonade.

Phase Transition
Phase transition refers to the transformation of matter from one state to another, such as from solid to liquid (melting) or liquid to gas (evaporation). Understanding phase transitions helps explain how substances behave under different conditions of temperature and pressure. For instance, when lemonade is cooled, it remains a liquid, but if heated, it may evaporate into gas.
