Correct Answer: Bose-Einstein condensate


Solution : The correct answer is Bose-Einstein condensate .

The fifth state of matter is known as Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). It was first predicted by Albert Einstein in the 1920s and was experimentally realised in 1995. In a Bose-Einstein condensate, a group of atoms is cooled to near absolute zero, causing them to occupy the same quantum state, leading to unique quantum effects at the macroscopic level.
