        Particles in a gas are best described as small, hard spheres with insignificant volumes.

        Explanation:
        As per the kinetic molecular theory of gases, the molecules of gas
        1. Are small and hard.
        2. Have an insignificant volume
        3. Don’t have repulsive/attractive forces.

        So, according to this option b is the correct answer.
