The correct answer is: D. True; gas particles are located too far apart to ever touch.

In gases, particles are generally far apart compared to liquids and solids, and while they can collide with each other, the term "touch" in the context of gas particles usually refers to the lack of strong intermolecular forces keeping them together, resulting in them not "touching" in the same way that particles in solids or liquids do.
