The correct answer is: Gases are least compressible
The bulk modulus for solids is much larger than gases. Solids are the least compressible as it is densely packed. The incompressibility of the solids is due to the tight coupling between neighbouring atoms. The reciprocal of the bulk modulus is called compressibility.
