Solution

Explanation for the correct statement:
Gases are fluids that have the least intermolecular forces of attraction.
Liquids are also fluids but they show intermediary properties between solids & gases.
Whereas, solids highest intermolecular forces of attraction with very less intermolecular spaces.
Thus, on increasing intermolecular force of attraction, melting & boiling points also increase.
Therefore, the correct statement is- The stronger the attractive forces between the particles, have higher the melting and boiling points.
