Answer:

The correct option is;

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, while the atoms and molecules of the glass are not moving

Explanation:

Matter that exist in the liquid or gaseous state consist of molecules that move freely about in the entire containing medium for gas, while the molecules move freely  in the portion of the container occupied by the fluid in the case of liquid fluids

However, the molecules of a solid are fixed within the current shape of the solid and are only free to vibrate within a fixed location and the allow the passage of subatomic particles such as electrons

As such, the glass cup being a solid, consists of molecules fixed in space, while the liquid water consists of molecules which can translate within the portion of the volume of the glass filled with the water.
