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

In a gas, particles are indeed very far apart compared to liquids and solids, which means they rarely come into contact with each other. While they do collide as they move around, the concept of "touching" in the context of gases is different from that in solids or liquids because of the significant distances between particles.
