# Which of the following best describes the implication of an ideal fluid being ‘incompressible’?

Which of the following best describes the implication of an ideal fluid being ‘incompressible’?

- **A.** The particles within the fluid are so far apart that they do not interact with one another.
- **B.** The fluid has no internal friction, allowing it to flow without any loss of mechanical energy.
- **C.** The density of the fluid remains constant regardless of the depth or the external pressure applied to it.
- **D.** The fluid can only exist in the liquid phase and cannot transition into a gaseous state.
