The arrangement of particles tightly packed together in rows and columns, as described in your image, is indicative of a solid state of matter. In solids, particles are closely packed and have fixed positions, which results in a defined shape and volume. The tiny arcs near the circles could represent vibrational movement of particles that is typical for solids, but the overall structure suggests a rigid arrangement. Therefore, the state of matter most likely represented in the image is Solid.
