Solution

The correct option is D Petrol > alcohol > kerosene oil > water.
Order of interparticle forces of attractions is Petrol < alcohol < kerosene oil < water.

The rate of evaporation would be inversely proportional to the intermolecular force of attraction. Hence, the order would be petrol > alcohol > kerosene oil > water.
