Solution

The correct option is D $H e$
According to Henry's law constant,' for a given external pressure of a gas, its solubility is inversely proportional to Henry's law constant,i.e, higher the value of $K_{H}$ , lower the solubility.
$S \propto \frac{1}{K_{H}}$
Henry law constant for helium is highest and lowest for oxygen. The order is :
$H e > N_{2} > H_{2} > O_{2}$
Hence, option D is correct.
