Answer
Substance B is a gas.
Explanation
This assertion is drawn from the fact that just like a gas, it flows (shows spreadability), and has low density (suggesting greater space between particles, as a gas does). The state if it 'can be compressed' or not has left a blank. Typical gases can usually be compressed. All this aligns with the properties of a gas.
