The three statements that are true regarding the properties and arrangements of particles in solids, liquids, and gases are:

A. Solids have the most tightly-packed particle arrangement.
B. Liquids are closely-packed but with no regular arrangement.
C. Gases are loosely-packed and have no regular arrangement.

The other statements (D and E) are not true in the context described. For example, solids do have a regular pattern in their particle arrangement, and all types of matter are composed of microscopic particles.
