Solution

The correct answer is b) Solids > Liquids > Gases.

Solids, liquids, and gases are three major physical states of matter. The force of attraction between the particles is inversely proportional to the distance between them.
The order of distance between particles is:
Gases > Liquids > Solids.
So, the decreasing order of forces of attraction between the particles of the three states of matter is
Solids > Liquids > Gases.
