Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Inter-molecular forces of attraction between the particles are the weakest in gases (such as oxygen or air) and the strongest in solids (such as sugar or salt). In liquids (such as water, oil. juice, etc.), the inter-molecular forces of attraction are intermediate of that in gases and solids.
