Solution

The correct option is B Solids > Liquids > Gases
Solids, liquids, and gases are three physical states of matter. Solid particles are very close to each other. So, they have maximum interparticle force. However, liquid and gas particles have more space than solid. So, gases have minimum and liquids have moderate interparticle force between the particles.

Hence,the decreasing order of interparticle force is:
Solids > liquids > gases
