When you push down on a block resting on a table, block atoms and table atoms that are in contact with one another

Amaintain their positions

Bbreak their bonds with one another

Cmove closer to one another

Dmove past each other

Verified Answer :

Maintain their positions.

Solids are incompressible, just like liquids. The electrostatic forces between the atoms of block and the atoms of table prevent the two objects from moving into one another.
