Solution

The correct option is A Solids
The particles of matter are attracted to each other and also have space between them. More the interparticle space more will be the distance between the particles.
It is inversely proportional to the force of attraction.

The increasing order of the interparticle distance in the three states of matter is solid < liquid < gas.
Hence, solids have the least interparticle distance.
