The correct Answer is:
1

A glass is an amorphous solid obtained by cooling a liquid rapidly enough that its basic units are `"frozen"` in random positions before they can assume an ordreed crystalline arrangement
Glass is sometimes called as pseduo solid or supercooled liquid because like a liquid it shows a tendency to flow though very slowly.
