Solution

The correct option is C gas > liquid > solid
The gaseous state is the most compressible state as the particles are loosely bounded, followed by liquid and solids are the least compressible as the particles are already closely packed.

Hence the order of compressibility is: gas > liquid > solid.

The correct option is C.
