• Option (D) Iron - It is in the solid-state, that has the strongest intermolecular force.

The explanation for the incorrect option -

Option (A) Milk- Milk is a liquid that has less intermolecular force than solid.

Option (B) Water - Water is a liquid that has less intermolecular force than solid.

Option (C) Oxygen - Oxygen is in the gaseous state that has the weakest intermolecular force of attraction.

Therefore, Option (D) i.e. iron is the correct answer.
